Monday, August 4, 2008 - Mountail Lion!!!

I've spoken much of the ranch I ride at, of my "adopted family," of Wings Like Eagles,  and of my "brother" who is going to the Olympics (he happened to leave for Bejing yesterday!);  All of these are one in the same.  The Bremer family is my adopted family who run the horse camp Wings Like Eagles where I get to ride regularly and give riding lessons and it is their son, Eli Bremer, who is competing in this year's olympic games (he competes in men's modern pentathlon.  You can check him out at NBC.com)

All that said, Duncan and Michele (Bremer) woke up two nights ago to the donkey braying wildly.  Duncan grabbed his gun (typical rancher response) and ran out side to see what was going on.  He found a mountain lion crouching over its fresh kill, one of the sheep!  (Here in Colorado, and I'm sure many other states as well, it is legal to kill any animal that is a threat to your own farm or ranch animals or livelyhood without having a license for that animal.)  I'm sure Duncan's heart was pounding as he raised his riffle to aim.  Deep breathe... Steady.... BOOM! 

 His smile says it all, doesn't it?!?!? 

Dinner tonight?  Lambergers!!!

Happy Trails!
