Summer 2009

SNEAK PEEK at CabernetCowgirls.com:
We've been up to a whole lot over here at Silver Wings Ranch, including an exciting new project called Cabernet Cowgirls! Check out a sneak peek of our new web site here. Stay tuned!

Roger, Tucker and Jodi helped to make a wish come true for little Allysa - a real 'cowgirl day' to brighten her life. Here they are working cattle! A special thanks to Roger and Barb McCracken for their support of the Make A Wish Foundation as well.

Roger was invited to Germany this year to put on a team penning clinic (above) and ride in the European Finals. Richard Lemieux went to judge the Finals. They had a great time and were invited to France next spring! Special thanks to Danniel Herrman and his wife Gertrude for the opportunity to come to Europe. We met a lot of great people and are thankful for the opportunity to share training philosophies and meet people across the world that share the same love for the sport of team penning.

Glacier Bear Lodge in Yakutat, Alaska, bought a 2 year old Nu Cash filly that is coming along real well. Congratulations to GBL for the purchase of 'Smart Lil Sonora' (at left). Check out www.glacierbearlodge.com to book the fishing trip of a lifetime!

We've been so busy this year and last, riding good horses with good people. Our son Tucker has been having a great time junior rodeoing in breakaway and heeling. Roger competed in the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Championship in Reno, Nevada in 2008 on a nice prospect (at right) owned by Barb McCracken and plans to return this fall. He has a Diamond J Star colt owned by Suzanne Westcott on track for the 2009 NRCHA Futurity - watch for them in Reno!

We always have fresh cattle on hand - call for lessons on cattle!
