<i>Yes, we are still alive and New Haven has not burnt down! When Nick and I came back from New Zealand in March, spring work started ... and turned into summer and fall work. We have a busy and exciting season behind us with guests from all over the world. And now - after finishing bookkeeping - I really want to update our website ... yes, you heard that before ;-) I just have to go through thousands of photos and select the best ... not an easy job! If you are on Facebook: I have been better at posting news and pictures there. Also hope to catch up again in the following months with writing this blog. Till then: Have a wonderful winter!</i><br />
<br />
Ja, wir leben noch, und New Haven ist nicht abgebrannt! Als Nick und ich im Maerz aus Neuseeland zurueckkamen, begann schon die Fruehlingsarbeit, die dann zur Sommer- und Herbstarbeit wurde. Wir haben eine anstrengende und spannende Saison hinter uns mit Gaesten aus aller Welt. Und jetzt - nachdem ich die Buchhaltung beendet habe - will ich wirklich unsere Webseite aktualisieren ... ja, das habt Ihr schon mal gehoert ;-) Ich muss nur durch tausende Fotos gehen und die besten aussuchen ... kein einfacher Job! Falls Ihr auf Facebook seid: Ich habe dort regelmaessig Nachrichten und Bilder gepostet. Und ich hoffe, in den kommenden Monaten auch wieder diesen Blog auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen. Bis dahin: Wuensche Euch einen schoenen Winter!<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Im Februar waren wir fuer drei Wochen in Neuseeland, wo zu dieser Zeit Sommer war. In Auckland auf der Nordinsel angekommen haben wir zuerst Kathrin besucht, eine deutsche Freundin, die auch schon mal bei uns in Wyoming gewesen und nun "down under" zu Hause ist. Zusammen mit Brandy und den Kindern - Emmett und Garrett - sind wir dann an Vulkanen, Milchviehbetrieben und tropischen Straenden vorbei Richtung Sueden gefahren und mit der Faehre auf die Suedinsel uebergesetzt.<br />
<br />
<i>In February we spent three weeks in New Zealand where it was summer at this time. Once we had arrived in Auckland on the North Island, we visited Kathrin, a German friend, who had spent some time with us in Wyoming and now lives "down under". Together with Brandy and the kids - Emmett and Garrett - we then traveled South passing volcanos, dairy farms and tropical beaches. We took the ferry over to the South Island.</i><br />
<br />
Auf dem Weg zur Ranch, auf der Brandys Mann Brandon arbeitet und die Familie lebt, haben wir das Meer, die exotischen Tiere und Pflanzen und ueberhaupt die wunderschoene Natuer Neuseelands genossen. Nur das Fahren auf der linken Strassenseite und der Dialekt der Kiwis waren gewoehnungsbeduerftig ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>On the way to the ranch where Brandy's husband Brandon works and the family lives we enjoyed the sea, the exotic animals and plants and New Zealands' beautiful scenery. Only driving on the left side of the road and the Kiwi dialect took some getting used to ;-)</i><br />
<br />
Die Ranch - hier Station genannt - ist nur ueber eine sehr schmale, sich scharf windende unbefestigte Strasse zu erreichen, auf deren einen Seite man bequem in den Abgrund schauen - und auch fallen - konnte. So kann man sich die Nachbarn auch vom Leibe halten ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>The ranch - which they call station here - can only be reached on a very narrow winding dirt road from which one could look - and possibly fall - right into steep canyons. One way of keeping the neighbors away ;-) </i><br />
<br />
Und dass Brandy die Kinder selbst unterrichten muss, versteht sich von selbst. Die taegliche Fahrt zur Schule kaeme einer Weltreise gleich. Genau so wie in vielen Teilen Wyomings.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>No need to mention that Brandy has to home-school the kids. The daily trip to school would be extremely time-consuming. Just like in many parts of Wyoming.</i><br />
<br />
Die ueppigen Weiden im Tal sind von unwegsamen Bergen umgeben. Waehrend in der Ebene Rinder grasen, leben die grossen Schafherden in den Huegeln. Und ein Fluss zieht sich durch die Mitte der Station - Lebensquelle, aber auch Badestelle. Hier wird mittlerweile weniger mit Pferden als mit Hunden gearbeitet, und Pickups sind ebenso beliebt wie im Wilden Westen Amerikas.<br />
<br />
<i>The abundant pastures in the valley are surrounded by rough mountains. While the cattle graze the flats, the big herds of sheep roam the hills. And a river runs through the middle of the station - life source as well as swimming hole. They use horse here less than dogs and pickups are as popular as in the Wild West of America.</i><br />
<br />
Es war faszinierend fuer uns zu erleben, wie anders man hier lebt und arbeitet - insbesondere in der Landwirtschaft. Und ein Rugbyspiel haben wir uns auch angeschaut ... auch wenn wir die Regeln nicht ganz verstanden haben.<br />
<br />
<i>It was fascinating to experience how differently people live and work here - especially in agriculture. And we also watched a rugby game ... even though we did not really understand the rules.</i><br />
<br />
Ich wuenschte, wir koennten Neuseeland oefter besuchen, aber der lange Flug und die Kosten sind nicht ohne. Und mal abgesehen davon, dass ich das Meer schon mal vermisse in Wyoming und die Winter in Neuseeland viel milder sind, bin ich doch mehr im Wilden Westen zu Hause als auf der anderen Seite der Erdkugel ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>I wish we could make it to New Zealand more often but the long flight and the costs are detrimental. And even though I miss the sea once in a while here in Wyoming and even though the New Zealand winters are so much nicer, my heart feels home in the Wild West and not on the other side of the globe ;-)</i><br />

Im Januar stand viel Bueroarbeit an ("Ich liebe Buchhaltung!"), und wir haben Projekte fuer 2015 geplant. Ausserdem haben wir fleissig Gaeste gebucht. Es schneite regelmaessig, so dass wir endlich mal wieder das Schneemobil nutzen konnten. Wobei die Kater (s.u.) allerdings andere Fahrzeuge bevorzugen.<br />
<br />
<i>There was lots of office work to be done in January ("I love book keeping!"), and we planned projects for 2015. We also booked many guests for the coming season. Outside it snowed quite a bit so that we could use the snow mobile again. Even though the toms prefer other vehicles (see below).</i><br />
<br />
Januar war auch der Countdown fuer unseren dreiwoechigen Neuseelandurlaub im Februar. Wir wollten Nicks Tochter Brandy und ihre Familie besuchen, die jetzt dort auf einer Ranch leben. Mehr dazu im naechsten Blog. Zum Glueck bat sich unser Nachbar an, die Ranch und Tiere zu versorgen und nach Nicks Mutter JoAnn zu schauen.<br />
<br />
<i>January was also the countdown for our 3-week New Zealand vacation. We wanted to visit Nick's daughter Brandy and her family who now live on a ranch down there. More about that in the next blog. Luckily our neighbor offered to take care of the ranch and animals and check in with Nick's mom JoAnn.</i><br />

Im Dezember waren Nick und ich allein. Es gab viel auf der Ranch zu erledigen. Und wir waren auch in Montana, um nach unseren Kuehen zu schauen, die - bis auf die Longhorns und Bullen - dort den Winter verbringen. Die Pferde waren auf der ganzen Ranch unterwegs, um zu grasen und einfach nur Pferd zu sein.<br />
<br />
<i>In December Nick and I were alone. There was quite a bit to be done on the ranch. And we drove up to Montana to check on our cows which - with the exception of the longhorns and bulls - are spending the winter there. Our horses roamed the ranch in order to graze and just do what horses do.</i><br />
<br />
Zum Jahresende hat unsere Herde noch einmal Zuwachs bekommen: Ace ist ein wunderscheoner junger Paint-Wallach, der Twister sehr aehnlich sieht, aber kein Kaltblut in ihm hat. Er hat sich gleich mit Pink angefreundet.<br />
<br />
<i>At the end of the year we added another horse to the herd: Ace is a beautiful young Paint gelding who looks a lot like Twister but does not have any draft in him. He became buddies with Pink very fast.</i><br />
<br />
Wir haben die Ruhe auf der Ranch genossen, bevor wir Weihnachten zusammen mit Nicks Mutter JoAnn bei Nicks aeltestem Bruder und seiner Familie in Minneapolis verbracht haben. Auf dem Rueckweg sind wir durch Nebraska gefahren, haben Freunde und Familie besucht und uns auf die Spuren von Nicks Kindheit begeben.<br />
<br />
<i>We enjoyed the quiet time on the ranch before heading to Minneapolis with Nick's mom JoAnn to spend Christmas with Nick's oldest brother and his family. On the way back we drove through Nebraska to visit friends and family and see the places where Nick spent time as a child.</i><br />

</tbody></table>
Anfang November haben wir unsere Kaelber verkauft, die nun den Winter ueber gemaestet werden und im kommenden Sommer mit Gleichaltrigen wieder auf Weide gehen, bevor sie nach einem weiteren Mast-Winter geschlachtet werden. Die Kuehe wurden mit Ultraschall auf Schwangerschaft getestet, und die traechtigen Kuehe wurden verladen, um den Winter in der Praerie Montanas zu verbringen, bevor sie im Fruehling wieder zu uns kommen. Die nicht traechtigen Kuehe wurden verkauft. Nur die Bullen und unsere Longhornrinder bleiben den Winter ueber auf New Haven. Und natuerlich die Pferde, die nach einer langen arbeitsreichen Saison den Winterurlaub geniessen.<br />
<br />
<i>In the beginning of November we sold our calves. They will be fed this winter and turned out to pasture again with other yearlings next spring before going into a feedlot again the winter after till they are butchered. The cows were checked for pregnancy (using ultrasound). The pregnant cows were shipped to spend the winter in the prairie of Montana before returning to our ranch in spring. The open cows were sold. Just the bulls and the longhorn cattle will spend the winter on the ranch. And the horses, of course which are enjoying their winter vacation after a long and busy season.</i><br />
<br />
Nach wenigen Tagen wurde es bitterkalt (bis zu 30 Grad minus), nicht nur ein Schock fuer uns und die Tiere, sondern auch fuer unsere Jaeger, die im November Hirsche und Antilopen (Pronghorn) jagen. Jaeger uebernehmen in den USA im gewissen Sinne die Funktion von Foerstern. So vergibt der Staat Wyoming z.B. eine bestimmte Anzahl von Lizenzen, fuer die sich Jaeger gegen eine Gebuehr bewerben koennen. Man versucht auf diesem Wege, die Anzahl der Wildtiere zu kontrollieren. Denn natuerlich gibt es nicht mehr so viele Raubtiere wie frueher. In unserer Gegend haben wir zwar viele Bergloewen, Koyoten und Adler, aber - zurzeit noch - wenige Baeren und Woelfe. Die meisten Jaeger schiessen die Tiere nicht nur wegen der Trophae, sondern auch wegen des Fleisches.<br />
<br />
<i>A few days into the month it became terribly cold (down to minus 25 Fahrenheit/minus 30 Celsius) which was not only a shock for us and the animals but also for our hunters who hunt deer and antelope (pronghorn) in November. Hunters in a way act as rangers as they are known in Europe. The state of Wyoming i.e. offers a certain amount of licenses which hunters can apply for (against a fee). Thus, one wants to manage the number of game since there are not that many predators anymore. In our area we still have a bunch of mountain lions, coyotes and eagles but - at least right now - few bears and wolves. Most of the hunters shoot the animals not just for the trophy but also for the meat. </i><br />
<br />
Der Monat endete mit dem Thanksgiving-Fest, dem wohl wichtigsten Familienfest in den USA. Nick, seine Mutter JoAnn und ich waren zu faul zum Kochen und sind zum ersten Mal, seit ich in New Haven lebe, zum Essen in ein Restaurant gegangen. Was fuer ein Sakrileg, aber wir haben es genossen :-)<br />
<br />
<i>The month ended with Thanksgiving - probably the most important family holiday in the US. Nick, his mom JoAnn and I were too lazy to cook and - for the first time I have been living in New Haven - had dinner at a restaurant. Quite a sacrilege but we enjoyed it :-) </i><br />

Im Oktober, der kuehl begann und warm endete, sassen wir fast taeglich im Sattel, um Rinder und Schafe zusammenzutreiben und zu verladen. Nach einem Familienbesuch in Deutschland war ich froh, vor dem Winter noch ein paar Wochen Twister reiten zu koennen. Nachdem ich ihn im Fruehling fast aufgegeben hatte, bin ich jetzt gluecklich, dass wir uns zusammen gerauft haben ... mal schaun, wie er sich 2015 macht.<br />
<br />
<i>In October - which started out rather cool and ended with very mild days - we sat in the saddle almost daily. Gathering cattle and sheep and shipping them. After a family visit to Germany I was glad to get in a few more weeks of riding Twister. After I almost gave up on him in spring, the two of us are getting along much better now ... curious how it'll work out in 2015.</i><br />
<br />
Und unsere Pferdeherde bekam noch einmal Zuwachs: eine braune Stute namens Sweet Annie, schnell und fleissig, und einen schwarz-weissen Scheckwallach namens Homer, etwas ruhiger und mit sehr weichen Gaengen.<br />
<br />
<i>We added two horses to our herd: a bay mare named Sweet Annie, fast and a hard worker, and a black and white Paint gelding named Homer, a bit calmer and with very smooth gaits.</i><br />
<br />
Waehrend unser Wrangler Lance 2015 wiederkommt, mussten wir uns leider von Rita und Anja verabschieden. Wir werden Euch vermissen, Maedels!<br />
<br />
<i>While our wrangler, Lance, will be back in 2015, we had to say good bye to Rita and Anja. We will miss you, gals!</i><br />

Auf der Ranch merken
wir von der beruehmten Sturgis Motorrad-Ralley nichts, aber an einem Tag haben
wir uns mit unseren Gaesten unter die Massen begeben, was dann auch sehr
unterhaltsam war, siehe Foto unten.<br />

<span lang="DE">Mit tatkraeftiger
Hilfe von Anne-Marie aus England und den schwedischen Schwestern Linda und
Sandra hat Nick begonnen, Leftie „einzufahren“ (Foto s.u.). Im Fruehjahr hatten
wir bereits Geschirr und einen Wagen von den Amish gekauft. So einfach, wie es
ausschaut, ist es dann doch nicht, aber Leftie macht (fast) alles mit ... und
traegt sogar vier kichernde Frauen mit Fassung (Foto s.u.).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ein Querschnitt durch unsere August-Arbeit in den Bergen und in der Prairie.
Und ein paar Brandings gab es auch noch. Sandy aus New Hampshire forderte Nick
zu einem barrel Race heraus: sie auf dem Pferd, Nick auf dem Motorrad. Nick
gewann knapp, aber nur weil er geschummelt hatte. Wer das Video sehen will,
findet es auf Lance Biddles Facebook-Seite vom 9. August 2014. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Juli ist Sommer. Lange heisse sonnige Tage, die nicht selten mit einem Bad in unserem See enden - mit oder ohne Pferd ... und meist freiwillig ;-) Nach den Brandings folgen die Dockings, bei denen die Laemmer geimpft und ggf. kastriert werden. Die Schwaenze werden abgebunden, und die Tiere bekommen einen Farbbrand. All das in der Prairie, wo ueber viele Kilometer kein Baum waechst. Nur unendliche Weite. Und viel Platz zum Galoppieren!<br />

<i>July is summer. Long hot sunny days which often end with a bath in our lake - with or without horse ... and mostly voluntarily ;-) After the brandings there come the dockings. Lambs are vaccinated and - if male - castrated, the tails are banded and the animals get a paint brand. All of this in the prairie where no tree grows for miles after miles. Just endless open space. And a good opportunity to gallop!</i><br />
<br />
Viel Arbeit, aber auch viel Spass beim Lassowerfen und Schiessen, bei Rodeos und Westerntaenzen sowie in der Bar in Hulett. Die Fotos sprechen fuer sich. Und neben Gaesten aus aller Welt auch Familienbesuch aus Schleswig (meiner Heimatstadt), Heiko und Marieke. Eden aus Israel hat uns geholfen, Captain wieder reitbar zu machen, aber da der tolle graue Wallach einfach nicht mit wechselnden Reitern klar kommt, haben wir ihn leider verkaufen muessen. Sein neuer Besitzer ist begeistert von ihm.<br />
<br />
<i>Lots of work but also lots of fun with roping and shooting, at rodeos and Western dances and in the bar in Hulett. Just check out the photos. And next to guests from all over the world some family from Schleswig (my home town in Germany), Heiko and Marieke. Eden from Israel helped us to ride Captain again but since the popular gray gelding does not deal well with ever changing riders, we had to sell him. His new owner is thrilled with him.</i><br />

Fuer alle, die es
interessiert: Ich moechte an den Blog
vom 20. Juni anschliessen und in den kommenden Wochen das Jahr 2014 noch einmal
Revue passieren lassen. Nach einem regenreichen Fruehling sind wir mit viel
gruenem Gras in den Sommer gestartet. Juni war der Monat der Tierbabies, der
Brandings und Rodeos. Und Ende des Monats haben Antje und ich mit Twister und
Bruno an einem Parelli-Horsemanship-Seminar teilgenommen – ein Highlight wie
jedes Jahr. Antje hat uns auch dabei geholfen, „Baby“ Chester weiter
auszubilden. Der huebsche Kastanienfuchs hat bisher noch kein einziges Mal
daran gedacht zu bocken und laesst sich durch kaum etwas aus der Ruhe bringen. Unser
neues Pferd, Frodo, wurde nach einer kurzen Einarbeitungszeit schnell zu einem der beliebtesten Pferde fuer nicht so erfahrene Reiter ... auf ihn ist
Verlass ... und er reitet sich wie ein Sofa ;-) Dafuer haben wir unseren
geliebten Snickers verloren: Er hatte Kolik, und der Tierarzt konnte nichts
mehr fuer ihn tun.<br />
<br />
<i>For those who are interested: I am catching up with my blog from June 20 and will sum up the year of 2014 within the next few weeks. After a rainy spring we started into the summer with lots of green grass. June was the month of baby animal, brandings and rodeos. And at the end of the month Antje and I took Twister and Bruno to participate in a Parelli Horsemanship Clinic - a highlight as in every year. Antje also helped with the ongoing training of "baby" Chester. The pretty chestnut has never thought of bucking, yet and keeps his cool in almost every circumstance. After only a very short time, our new horse, Frodo, became a favorite with the not so experienced guests ... you can rely on him ... and he rides like a sofa ;-) The saddest thing that happened: We lost our beloved Snickers. He had a colic and the vet could not help him anymore.</i><br />

Die Saison 2014 ist gerade zu Ende gegangen. Es gab viele schoene, spannende und lustige Momente ... aber leider auch einige traurige. Wir hatten viel Arbeit, aber auch viel Spass ... und haben ein paar Traenen vergossen. Unsere Gaeste kamen aus aller Welt: den USA und Kanada, Deutschland, der Schweiz und Oesterreich, Skandinavien, den Niederlanden, Grossbritannien, Belgien und Israel usw. Unser Wrangler Lance wird Nick und mich auch 2015 wieder unterstuetzen. Dafuer werden wir uns wohl aber von unserer Koechin Rita verabschieden muessen ... die, die sie kennen, wissen, was fuer ein Verlust das ist. Bei einigen anderen unserer "treuen Seelen" (bloedes Wort, ich weiss) ist noch alles offen.<br />
<br />
<i>The season of 2014 has ended. There were many beautiful, exciting and hilarious moments ... but also some sad ones. We had a lot of work but also lots of fun ... and we shed some tears. Our guests came from all over the world: USA and Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, Scandinavia, Netherlands, Great Britain, Belgium and Israel etc. Our wrangler Lance wants to support Nick and me for another year. But we will have to say good-bye to our cook Rita ... those who know her, also know what a loss that is. Others don't know, yet if they want to or rather can come back.</i><br />
<br />
Nur bei unserem "Chef der Ranchsicherheit" gibt es keine Zweifel. Gauge - unser Labrador - bleibt, soweit die Bezahlung stimmt: viele leckere Knochen, ein paar Massageeinheiten und die Erlaubnis, sich in Schlamm und Tierkadavern waelzen zu duerfen. Bei so einem verantwortungsvollen Job nicht zu viel verlangt.<br />
<br />
<i>Just our "head of ranch security" has no doubts. Gauge - our Labrador - will stay if the wage is right: many delicious bones, some scratches and the right to roll in mud and dead animals. That's not asking much for such a tough job.</i><br />
<br />
In den kommenden Monaten werde ich mehr Zeit haben und unsere Webseite aktualisieren (naja, eher ganz neu gestalten). Der Blog soll dann Bestandteil der Homepage werden. Aber fuer all die, die dem Geschehen nicht auf unserer Facebook-Seite gefolgt sind, werde ich die Monate Juni bis Oktober noch mal in einzelnen Blogs zusammenfassen. Etwas Geduld bitte!<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In the coming months I will have more time and will update our webpage (well, rather build a new one). The blog will then be part of the homepage. But for all those who haven't followed us on Facebook, I will sum up the months June to October in separate blogs. Have a little patience, please!</i><br />
<br />
2013 und 2014 waren wir ausgebucht. Und in diesem Jahr beginnen Interessierte frueher denn je zu buchen. Falls Ihr (wieder)kommen wollt, meldet Euch bitte rechtzeitig. Einige Wochen sind schon voll.<br />
<br />
<i>In 2013 and 2014 we were booked out. And this year people are booking earlier than ever. If you are planning on coming (or returning), let us know as soon as possible. Some weeks are already full.</i><br />
<br />
Nick und ich werden diesen Winter wahrscheinlich noch eine Fernreise wagen: Nicks Tochter Brandy und ihre Familie werden fuer drei Jahre in Neuseeland leben. Schwiegersohn Brandon soll dort eine riesige Ranch auf der Suedinsel managen.<br />
<br />
<i>Nick and I may go on a pretty far trip this winter: Nick's daughter Brandy and her family will spend the next three years in New Zealand. His son-in-law Brandon is going to manage a big ranch on the South Island.</i><br />

Wyoming im Juni ist das Paradies (wenn man mal von den abendlichen Gewittern und dem Strassenbau absieht ;-) Das Gras ist gruen, der Himmel blau, ueberall sieht man Kaelber, Laemmer, Fohlen und andere Tierbabies. Die Pferde sind voller Energie und schimmern in der Fruehsommersonne. Es ist die Zeit der Brandings und Rodeos. Und ja, man kann schon im See baden ;-)<br />

<i>Wyoming in June is paradise (except for the evening thunderstorms and road construction ;-) The grass is green, the sky blue, you see calves, lambs, foals and other baby critters everywhere. The horses are full of energy and are shimmering in the summer sun. It's the time of brandings and rodeos. And yes, one can already swim in the lake ;-)</i><br />
<br />
Zu Beginn der Reitsaison hatte ich einfach zu viel zu tun, und dann habe ich es nicht mehr geschafft, aufzuholen. Jetzt nach Wochen endlich wieder ein neuer Blog. Das wird mir hoffentlich nicht wieder passieren. Anbei viele Fotos - meine, aber auch die unserer Gaeste und Mitarbeiter.<br />
<br />
<i>At the beginning of the riding season I was too busy and then I simply did not catch up. Finally a new blog after weeks. I hope this won't happen again. Have a look at all the photos - mine but also many shot by our guests and employees.</i><br />

Nachdem Lance und Rita zurueckgekommen sind, sind nun auch Rob (Nicks Praktikant), Veronika, Sanny und Sandra auf der Ranch. Letztere Drei helfen uns dabei, unsere Pferde fuer die Gaestesaison aufzuwaermen. Sanny und Sandra bleiben leider nur zwei Wochen, aber Veronika (aus Schweden) haelt es hoffentlich laenger aus ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>First Lance and Rita returned. Now Rob (Nick's intern), Veronika, Sanny and Sandra have found their way to the ranch as well. Latter three will help us warm up horses for the guest season. Sanny and Sandra will only stay for two weeks but Veronika (from Sweden) will hopefully hold out longer ;-)</i><br />
<br />
Die Pferde benehmen sich bestens, auch die Neuen (Cassidy, Cloud und Gypsy), nur Newt bockt hin und wieder vor lauter Lebensfreude ;-) Sanny hat begonnen, unseren Dreijaehrigen, Chester, zu reiten. Wir lassen es ganz langsam angehen, da Chester noch nicht ausgewachsen ist. Bisher ist er cool geblieben.<br />
<br />
<i>The horses are behaving well, also the new ones (Cassidy, Cloud and Gypsy), just Newt bucks happily once in a while ;-) Sanny has started to ride our three-year old Chester. We are taking it slow since Chester is not fully grown, yet. So far he's been really cool.</i><br />
<br />
George ist mittlerweile zu Brandy und Brandon nach Montana umgezogen. Splash ist hier geblieben und wird immer zutraulicher. Von Honey und Dun It werden wir uns leider trennen muessen. Sie brauchen eine feste Bezugsperson, die mit ihnen arbeitet - nicht staendig wechselnde Reiter.<br />
<br />
<i>George has already moved to Brandy and Brandon up in Montana. Splash stayed and becomes more trusting every day. Unfortunately, we will have to part from Honey and Dun It. They need one person who works with them - not ever changing riders.</i><br />
<br />
Die Truthahnjagdsaison ist in vollem Gange, aber die Jaeger haben mit dem Wyomingschen Wetterkapriolen zu kaempfen. Hat ja auch keiner gesagt, dass es einfach sein wird ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Turkey hunting season is in full swing but the hunters have to cope with Wyoming's extreme weather changes. Well, no one has said it would be easy ;-)</i><br />
<br />
Bei unserem Beefalo Bernadette setzte sich immer mehr das Bueffel-Gen durch (ihr Vater war Bueffel Junior, ihre Mutter ein Angus-Longhorn-Mix). Sie sprang staendig ueber Zaeune und besuchte unsere Nachbarn. Und diese fanden das irgendwann nicht mehr so toll. Wir mussten Bernadette erschiessen. Wir haben sie ausgenommen und gehaeutet (ich erspare Euch die Fotos) und zum Schlachter gebracht, wo das Fleisch abhaengen muss. Ich war traurig, hatte aber leider auch keine andere Loesung parat. Bueffel sind wilde Tiere ... Zaeune halten sie nicht auf.<br />
<br />
<i>Our beeffalo Bernadette's buffalo genetics kicked in more and more (her dad was buffalo Junior, her mom an Angus-Longhorn mix). She has been jumping fences and visiting neighbors all winter. And the neighbors aren't that thrilled anymore. We had to shoot Bernadette. We gutted and skinned her (I think you'd prefer to not see the pics) and brought her to the butcher where the meat needs to hang for a while. I was sad but did not know any alternative solution. Buffalos are wild animals ... they don't respect fences.</i><br />
<br />
Unsere ersten Reitgaeste kommen Ende naechster Woche ... wir haben noch viel zu tun.<br />
<br />
<i>Our first riding guests will arrive at the end of the next week ... we still have to prepare a lot.</i><br />
<br />
Gruesse aus dem Wilden Westen!<br />

Die Belgier werden allerdings eher fuer die Feldarbeit eingesetzt, waehrend die Amish Traber wie American Standardbred fuer laengere Ueberlandfahrten einspannen.

Wochenende nach Las Vegas fliegen wollte, um sich von den New Haven-Strapazen
zu erholen ;-) Am Montag trifft er sich dann mit seiner Frau in New York, von
wo aus es eine Woche spaeter wieder heim in die Schweiz geht. Peter war erst
drei Male in seinem Leben geritten (alle dreimal hier auf Buster), als Nick ihm
vorschlug, allein loszuziehen. Ich fand das natuerlich zu gefaehrlich, aber die
Maenner haben mich ueberstimmt. Fuer
Peter wurde ein Traum wahr, und dank unserem routinierten Buster ueberlebte er
diesen Traum auch ;-) Die Beiden waren fuenf Stunden unterwegs ... Peter hatte
sich verritten. Buster wusste natuerlich, wo zu Hause war, aber Peter traute
ihm nicht so ganz. Am Abend schlurfte Peter wie ein alter Mann durchs Haus ;-)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Peter had ridden three times in his life (all three times here on Buster). Nick suggested that for the forth time Peter ride out alone. I thought that was too dangerous but the two men outvoted me. A dream came true for Peter and thanks to our reliable Buster Peter survived the dream as well ;-) They were gone for five hours ... Peter lost orientation.

Von Fruehling kann noch keine Rede sein, aber immerhin gibt es zwischen all dem Schnee auch mal ein paar warme Tage. Gut so, denn seit mehr als einer Woche ist unsere Heizung kaputt. Gestern kam das Ersatzteil, aber leider das falsche ...<br />
<br />
<i>I would not call it spring, yet but in between all that snow we now start having a few warmer days. Good because our furnace has been broke for more than one week. Yesterday the new parts arrived, unfortunately the wrong ones ...</i><br />
<br />
Nick und Peter arbeiten an der Teachers Cabin, aber gestern haben sie eine Pause gemacht. Wir haben stattdessen unserem Nachbarn bei der Rinderarbeit geholfen. Kuehe zusammengetrieben, die vom Tierarzt auf Schwangerschaft getestet wurden, die nicht schwangeren Kuehe aussortiert und zu einem anderen Korral getrieben, wo sie verladen wurden, um zur Auktion transportiert zu werden. Ein schoener Tag (s. Fotos)!<br />
<br />
<i>Nick and Peter are working on the Teachers Cabin but yesterday they took a break. We helped the neighbor work cattle instead. Gathered the cows which were preg checked by the vet, sorted out the open cows and moved them to a different corral where we loaded them onto a truck to go to auction. A fun day (s. photos)!</i><br />
<br />
Am Wochenende habe ich endlich mal wieder mit Twister gearbeitet. Er meinte erst, auf wilden Mustang machen zu muessen, beruhigte sich dann aber schnell. Ob ich ohne Leiter auf ihn aufsteigen kann?<br />
<br />
<i>On the weekend I finally worked with Twister again. He first thought he had to behave like a wild mustang but then calmed down quickly. Will I ever be able to mount him without a ladder?</i><br />
<br />
Vor gut einer Woche wurden unsere Schafe geschoren - das nennt man Sekundendiaet (s. Bilder)! Aber auch wenn es erstmal etwas kuehl fuer die Schafe ist, im Sommer werden sie die kurze Wolle geniessen. Jedes Jahr wieder muss ich die Scherer davon abhalten, meinen Schafen den Schwanz abzuschneiden. Bei uns bleibt der Schwanz dran, auch wenn die Nachbarn lachen!<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>About one week ago, our sheep were sheared - that's called the 30-second diet (s. pics)! But even if they are a little cold right now, the sheep will enjoy the shorter wool in the summer. And every year again I have to keep the shearers from cutting my sheep' tails. On this ranch we don't cut tails even if the neighbors laugh!</i><br />
<br />
Und auch Rita (s. Foto) hat es nach dem muehsamen Prozess, ein Visum zu bekommen, wieder nach Wyoming geschafft. Wir freuen uns!<br />
<br />
<i>And Rita (s. photo) made it back to Wyoming as well - after a tedious visa application process. We are glad!</i><br />
<br />
Morgen nehmen Nick und ich an einem Erste-Hilfe-Kurs teil. Wir hoffen natuerlich nicht, dass unseren Gaesten etwas passiert, aber wir wollen vorbereitet sein. Und danach schauen wir uns noch ein paar Pferde an, die zum Verkauf stehen ...<br />
<br />
<i>Tomorrow Nick and I will participate in a CPR class. We don't hope that any of our guests will get injured but we want to be prepared. And after that we are going to look at a few horses which are for sale ...</i><br />
<br />
Gruesse aus dem Wilden Westen!<br />

Nick will dieses Jahr einen Garten neben unserem Haus anlegen und hatte deshalb die Idee, die Pferde dort eine Zeit lang zu fuettern, damit deren Dung und das in den Boden getretene Heu die Erde fruchtbarer machen. Den Pferden war das ziemlich egal ... Ginger (Stute und Appaloosa) und Cassidy (ebenfalls Stute und Appaloosa ... wen wundert es noch!) machten sich daraus einen Spass und fuehrten die Herde ueberall hin ... nur nicht dahin, wo Nick sie haben wollte ;-)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Nick wants to build a garden next to our house this year and had the idea to feed the horses there for a while so that their manure and the hay which is trampled into the ground will fertilize the soil. The horses did not really care ... Ginger (mare and Appaloosa) and Cassidy (also mare and Appaloosa ... what a surprise!) wanted to add a little excitement and led the herd everywhere but where Nick wanted them to go ;-)</i><br />

Vergangene Woche holten wir Peter aus Rapid City ab. Er ist Schweizer und wollte sich im Urlaub mal das Landleben in Wyoming anschauen. Am ersten Tag musste er gleich aufs Pferd, um dem Nachbarn beim Zusammentreiben und Sortieren von Kuehen zu helfen. Das war sein erstes Mal hoch zu Ross, aber Buster hat auf ihn aufgepasst. Ich bin Jet geritten, der sich nach ein bisschen Bocken im Roundpen - der Winter war lang - wieder ganz wie ein Gentleman benahm.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Last week we picked up Peter from Rapid City. He is Swiss and wanted to experience country life in Wyoming during his vacation. On his first day he had to get on a horse to help the neighbor gather and sort cows. That was his first time on horseback but Buster took good care of him. I rode Jet who bucked some in the round pen - the winter was long - but then behaved like a gentleman again.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Am Samstag haben wir demselben Nachbarn dabei geholfen, einige seiner Schafe auf Schwangerschaft zu testen. Und Peter - ebenfalls zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben - musste Schafboecke aussortieren - gar nicht so einfach.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>On Saturday we helped the same neighbor preg check some of his sheep. And Peter - also for the first time in his life - had to sort out sheep bucks - not that easy.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An einigen Tagen laesst sich schon der Fruehling erahnen, an anderen - so wie heute - schneit es wieder. Aber wenn dann endlich der Sommer kommt, ist es in Wyoming schoener als irgendwo sonst auf der Welt :-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Some days one can already feel spring coming, others days - like today - it's snowing again. But when summer finally arrives, Wyoming is the best place to be on earth :-)</i></div>
<div>
<br />
Und fuer alle, die es noch nicht wissen: Rita - ebenfalls Schweizerin - ist wieder auf New Haven!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>And for all who don't know, yet: Rita - also Swiss - is back on New Haven!</i></div>

Lang lang ist's her ... seit dem letzten Blogeintrag. Nick und ich waren zwei Wochen auf Urlaub (eine Woche in Deutschland bei meinen Eltern und eine Woche auf Rundtour in Irland) - bei schoenstem Fruehlingswetter. Eigentlich wollte ich fleissig sein, habe dann aber alle Viere gerade sein lassen und nur Emails und Telefonnachrichten beantwortet ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>It's been a while ... since I last wrote a blog. Nick and I spent two weeks on vacation (one week with my parents in Germany and one week on a tour through Ireland) - in the nicest spring weather. I wanted to work quite a bit but then changed my mind and only answered emails and phone messages ;-)</i><br />
<br />
Kurz vor unserem Urlaub kam nachts mitten in einem Schneesturm ein Kalb zur Welt (Fotos siehe unten), das sich aber zum Glueck schnell von der Kaelte erholte. Phillip, der diesen Winter mit seiner Familie auf der Ranch wohnt, hat sich gut um Haus, Hof und Tiere gekuemmert. Nur die Katzen haben sich beschwert, dass sie nicht genuegend gestreichelt und unterhalten worden sind. Aber zum Glueck kommt Rita ja Ende Maerz wieder nach New Haven, um diese wichtige Aufgabe zu uebernehmen ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Just before our vacation a calf was born at night in the middle of a snow storm (photos below). Luckily it recovered quickly. Phillip who is living with his family on the ranch this winter took good care of buildings and critters. Just the cats complained that they had not been petted and entertained enough. Good that Rita is coming back to New Haven at the end of March to take over this very important chore ;-) </i><br />
<br />
Gauge wurde von Nicks Mutter JoAnn verwoehnt und muss jetzt wieder eine Diaet machen ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Gauge was spoiled by Nick's mom JoAnn and needs to go on a diet again ;-)</i><br />
<br />
Um kurz auf den letzten Blogeintrag zurueckzukommen: Obwohl wir eine neue Cabin haben, werden wir nicht mehr Gaeste aufnehmen. Aber wir hatten manchmal Probleme, ueberhaupt acht Gaeste in unseren fuenf Zimmern unterzubringen, wenn wir viele Einzelreisende gebucht hatten.<br />
<br />
<i>To add something to my last blog: Even though we will have a new cabin, we are not going to take more riding guests. It's just that often we could not even book eight guests for our five rooms because we had so many single travelers.</i><br />
<br />
Nick hat mir versprochen, demnaechste mit Panelen einen Roundpen in unserer Heuscheune aufzubauen, damit ich mit Pferden arbeiten kann, ohne staendig im Schnee oder auf Eis zu stehen. Die Heuscheune ist fast leer, wir haben dieses Jahr fast alles Heu verkauft. Fuer unsere Pferde ist natuerlich noch genuegend vorhanden.<br />
<br /><i>Nick promised to build me a round pen in the hay barn with panels so I can work with horses again without sinking into the snow or sliding on ice. The hay barn is almost empty. We sold most of our hay this year. There is enough left for our horses, of course.</i><br />
<br />
Was die naechste Saison angeht: Wir haben noch ganz vereinzelt Platz im Juni, in den letzten beiden Juliwochen und ab Ende September bis Mitte Oktober.<br />
<br />
<i>Concerning the coming season: We only have very few spots left in June, in the last two weeks of July and in the end of September till the middle of October.</i><br />
<br />
Auf unserer Reise nach Europa haben Nick und ich es auf neun Fluege gebracht: Rapid City nach Minneapolis, Minneapolis nach Amsterdam, Amsterdam nach Hamburg, dann Hamburg nach Amsterdam, Amsterdam nach Dublin, dann - gerade noch rechtzeitig vor dem Chaos des St. Patrick-Tags - Dublin nach Amsterdam, Amsterdam nach Minneapolis und Minneapolis ... nach Sioux Falls ... der Pilot meldete sich ploetzlich und meinte, wir muessten mal eben zwischenlanden und auftanken, weil das Wetter in Rapid City so schlecht sei, dass er nicht genuegend Benzin dabei haette. Na toll, ich war begeistert. Zum Glueck haben wir es dann auch noch von Sioux Falls nach Rapid City geschafft. Und haben die Nacht in der Stadt verbracht.<br />
<br />
<i>On our trip to Europe Nick and I had to start and land nine times: Rapid City to Minneapolis, Minneapolis to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Hamburg, then Hamburg to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Dublin, then - right before the madness of St. Patrick's Day - Dublin to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Minneapolis and Minneapolis ... to Sioux Falls ... the pilot suddenly said that we had to touch down quickly to gas up because the weather in Rapid City was so bad and he did not have enough gas for that. I was thrilled. Luckily we also made it from Sioux Falls to Rapid City. And spent the night in town.</i><br />
<br />
Wir sind froh, wieder in Wyoming zu sein, auch wenn der Urlaub schoen war. Jetzt bleiben wir erstmal hier und warten auf all unsere neuen und alten Gaeste ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>We are happy to be back in Wyoming even though the vacation was really nice. Now we are going to stay put and wait for all of our new and old guests ;-)</i><br />

Entweder ist es richtig kalt, oder es ist waermer und schneit, und dann gibt es die wenigen Tage, wo es ueber null ist und alles zu einer schoenen Eisflaeche gefriert, auf der man sich die Beine brechen kann. Das gilt fuer Mensch und Tier.<br />
<br />
<i>Either it is really cold or it's a touch warmer and snows. And then there are the few days in between when it's not freezing and the snow melts ... and then freezes again as solid ice. Perfect to break one's legs. That applies to both humans and animals.</i><br />
<br />
Unsere neue (sprich restaurierte) Cabin fuer Reitgaeste sieht immer wohnlicher aus. Wasser, Abwasser, elektrische Leitungen sind drin. Waende und Decken. Tueren und Fenster. Wir haben isoliert bzw. gechinkt. Kueche und Bad stehen, aber wir muessen noch streichen, den Holzofen einbauen, moeblieren etc. Nick macht die Hauptarbeit, ich helfe ab und an. Fotos folgen bald.<br />
<br />
<i>Our new (well, renovated) cabin for riding guests starts to look more habitable. Plumbing and electrical lines are done. As are walls and ceilings. Doors and windows. We insulated and chinked it. Kitchen and bath room are in but we still have to paint, put the wood stove in, furniture etc. Nick does most of the work, I help once in a while. Pics will follow soon.</i><br />
<br />
Abwechslung im Winter? Wenn wir nicht arbeiten oder etwas mit den Tieren unternehmen (mehr ich als Nick), lesen wir. Fernsehempfang haben wir nicht, aber wir schauen ab und an DVDs. Und ich beschaeftige mich mit Parelli Natural Horsemanship (Buecher, Zeitschriften, DVDs). Dafuer geht Nick hin und wieder joggen. Wer viel Ablenkung braucht, ueberlebt den Wyoming-Winter nicht ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Winter distractions? When we don't work or play with the critters (more me than Nick), we read. We don't have TV reception but we watch DVDs here and there. And I study Parelli Natural Horsemanship (books, magazines, DVDs). Nick goes jogging. If you need a lot of entertainment, you won't survive a Wyoming winter ;-)</i><br />
<br />
War gestern mit Heike in der Ponderosa Bar in Hulett, um endlich mal wieder einen Burger zu essen. Entweder man (sprich Frau) kocht selbst, wird von Schwiegermutter JoAnn eingeladen oder muss in die Stadt fahren. Bestellen geht ja leider nicht ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Yesterday, Heike and I met at the Ponderosa Bar in Hulett to eat burgers. You (meaning woman) either cook, have your mother-in-law JoAnn invite you or go to town. No delivery service out here ;-)</i><br />

Gauge vermisst Penny und freut sich auf Sip, der ja im April wieder mit Lance auf die Ranch kommen wird. Bis dahin muss sich unser Labrador mit den Katzen abgeben ... besser als nichts ...<br />
<br />
<i>Gauge is missing Penny and is looking forward to Sip who'll return to the ranch with Lance in April. Till then our Labrador will have to do with the cats ... better than nothing ...</i><br />
<br />
Wir freuen uns auf unseren baldigen "Sommerurlaub" in Deutschland und Irland. Phillip, der mit seiner Familie diesen Winter ueber auf der Ranch wohnt, wird sich um Ranch und Tiere kuemmern. Er hat schon eine mehrseitige Liste mit Anweisungen bekommen, aber ich glaube nicht, dass er morgens laut "Kittie, kittie, kittie" rufen wird (dann kommen die Katzen) ... das ist dann doch etwas zu viel verlangt von einem Cowboy :-)<br />
<br />
<i>We are looking forward to our imminent "summer vacation" in Germany and Ireland. Phillip who lives on the ranch with his family this winter will take care of the ranch and the animals. He already got a long list with chores but I don't think he will call the cats in the morning with "kittie, kittie, kittie" ... that's asking a bit too much of a cowboy ;-)</i><br />

Nur ein kurzes Lebenszeichen: Wir werden den kaeltesten Winter, den ich bisher in Wyoming erlebt habe, ueberstehen, auch wenn meine Zehen angefroren sind, was relativ schmerzhaft ist. Aber auf Hawaii will ich deshalb (noch) nicht leben ;-) Ansonsten arbeiten wir so vor uns hin ...<br />
<br />
<i>A quick note to prove that we are alive: We will survive the coldest winter that I have experienced in Wyoming so far. Even though my toes are frost bitten which hurts quite a bit. But I still don't want to live on Hawaii (yet ;-) Other than that we are working on this and that ...</i><br />
<br />
Ich hoffe, bald einen Pferdezahnarzt auf die Ranch zu bekommen, der sich unsere duenneren aelteren Pferde anschaut - auf den meisten Ranches ist das uebrigens nicht ueblich. Unsere Pferde werden regelmaessig entwurmt und bekommen ausreichend zu fressen. Pferde koennen Gewicht verlieren aufgrund von Parasiten, mangelnder Ernaehrung ... und eben Zahnproblemen.<br />
<br />
<i>Soon, I hope to get an equine dentist on to the ranch to check on our thinner older horses - which is rather exotic for a working ranch. Our horses get wormed regularly and are fed sufficiently. Horses can lose weight due to parasites and lack of nutrition ... and tooth problems.</i><br />
<br />
Ja, im Sommer nehmen sie manchmal auch aufgrund der Arbeit ab, was aber nicht automatisch schlecht ist. Oder habt Ihr schon mal einen molligen (und trotzdem erfolgreichen) Marathonlaeufer gesehen?<br />
<br />
<i>Yes, in summer they can also lose weight due to work which does not always have to be bad. Or have you ever seen a plump (and still successful) marathon runner?</i><br />
<br />
Wir schauen uns auch wieder nach neuen Saetteln um, die moeglichst vielen Pferden passen, denn wir koennen nicht fuer jedes Pferd - ca. 40 - einen eigenen Sattel haben. Zum Einen: Wohin damit? Zum Anderen: Welche Sattelgroesse sollen wir waehlen? Unsere Gaeste brauchen Saettel zwischen 14 und 18 Inches Groesse (35,5 bis 46 cm). Ausserdem verwenden wir (ueber Satteldecken hinaus) Shims, kleine Filzpads unterschiedlicher Dicke, mit denen wir einen Sattel an ein bestimmtes Pferd anpassen koennen.<br />
<br />
<i>We are also looking for new saddles again which fit as many horses as possible since we cannot get a saddle for every horse - about 40. First: Where would we put them? Second: Which size would we buy? Our guests need saddles between 14 and 18 inches of seat length. To help the situation, we already (in addition to saddle pads) use shims, small felt patches of various thickness with which we can adjust a saddle to a specific horse.</i><br />
<br />
Ja, ich muss mal wieder mehr Fotos machen, aber ich tendiere momentan eher zum Winterschlaf ... wenn ich denn duerfte!<br />
<br />
<i>Yes, I have to take more pics but right now I keep thinking about hibernating ... if I just could!</i><br />

Kommt mir das nur so vor, oder vergeht die Zeit immer schneller je aelter man wird? Wir haben einem Nachbarn bei der Rinderarbeit geholfen (es war ausnahmsweise mal nicht so kalt), haben Freunde - Lynette und Rick - auf einer Ranch westlich von uns besucht, die auch Parelli Horsemanship praktizieren, waren mit Heike auf der Black Hills Viehschau in Rapid City (<a href="http://www.blackhillsstockshow.com/">www.blackhillsstockshow.com</a>), wo wir auch die hochschwangere Romina und ihren Mann Nick trafen, haben die Pferde von der Winterweide zurueck zur Ranch gebracht, um sie ab jetzt mit Heu zu fuettern, haben fleissig an der Teacher Cabin gearbeitet, um sie rechtzeitig zur Reitsaison fuer Gaeste fertig zu stellen, und, und, und.<br />
<br />
<i>Does that just happen to me or is time flying by faster when one gets older? We helped a neighbor move cattle (it wasn't that cold for a change), visited friends - Lynette and Rick - on a ranch further west from us who also practice Parelli Natural Horsemanship, went to the Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City with Heike (<a href="http://www.blackhillsstockshow.com/">www.blackhillsstockshow.com</a>) where we also met a very pregnant Romina and her husband Nick, moved the horses from the winter pasture back to the ranch to start feeding them with hay, worked lots of hours on the Teacher Cabin to get it ready for our riding guests and and and.</i><br />

Ich war heute uebrigens draussen und habe ein Foto von jedem unserer 38 Pferde - plus Esel - geschossen. Zu sehen auf unserer Facebook-Seite <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thenewhavenranch">www.facebook.com/thenewhavenranc<u>h</u></a>! Unsere Webseite ist leider nicht ganz aktuell. Und einige Pferde sind mit ihrem Plueschfell und teilweise anderen Farben im Winter gar nicht wiederzuerkennen.<br />

<i>Today I went out to take a photo of everyone of our 38 horses - plus donkey. You can see them on our facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thenewhavenranch">www.facebook.com/thenewhavenranch</a>! Our website is - unfortunately - not totally up-to-date. Some of the horses are barely recognizable due to their teddy furs and different colors in winter.</i><br />
<br />
Was die Buchungen fuer die naechste Saison angeht: Es gibt noch einige wenige Plaetze im Mai und in der zweiten Julihaelfte sowie ab Mitte September. Juni, die erste Julihaelfte und August sind fast bis ganz ausgebucht. Meldet Euch, falls Ihr dieses Jahr noch kommen wollt.<br />

<i>As for bookings for the coming season: There are a few spots left in May, the second half of July and after mid-September. June, the first half of July and August are almost or totally booked out. Let me know if you are still planning on coming this year.</i><br />
<br />
Nick und ich werden diesen Winter tatsaechlich noch mal verreisen: eine Woche Deutschland und dann noch eine Woche Irland. Nicks Wurzeln sind zwar fast ausschliesslich deutsch, aber die paar Prozent irisches Blut scheinen staerker zu sein, wenn man seiner Haarfarbe und seinem Temperament nach urteilen darf ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Nick and I will still travel this winter: one week Germany and one week Ireland. Nick's roots are mostly German but the few drops of Irish blood seem to be stronger if you can judge by his hair color and temperament ;-)</i><br />

Ja, wir leben noch ... aber wir sind momentan nicht mit so viel fotogenen Arbeiten beschaeftigt ;-) Vor ein paar Tagen wurde das erste Kalb des neuen Jahres geboren (s.o.). Eigentlich zu frueh, aber zum Glueck war die Nacht nicht so kalt. Mama und Papa hatten im April vergangenen Jahres ein verbotenes Date. Aber sobald das Kalb die erste Muttermilch (Kolostrum) getrunken hat, ist sein Immunsystem fit und es haelt auch kaelteste Temperaturen aus.<br />
<br />
<i>Yes, we are still alive ... but busy with less photogenic work ;-) A few days ago our first 2014 calf was born (s.above). A little too early but luckily the night had not been that cold. Mom and dad had had a forbidden date April of last year. But as soon as the calf drinks the first milk (colostrum), its immune system is strong and the calf can take even the coldest temperatures.</i><br />
<br />
Die Pferde sind - bis auf drei duennere (s.u.) - immer noch auf Winterweide. Die Rinder und Schafe fuettern wir bereits. Und die Kater helfen immer fleissig dabei ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>The horses are - other than three skinnier ones (s.below) - still on their winter pasture. We are already feeding the cattle and sheep. And the tom cats always help with ;-)</i><br />

Ein letztes Mal haben wir die Pferde auf eine neue Weide getrieben, dieses Mal mit dem Schneemobil. Anfang Februar werden wir damit beginnen, Heu zu fuettern. Die Pferde wuerden zwar ueberleben, aber sie muessen mittlerweile hart arbeiten, um den Schnee wegzuscharren und an Gras zu gelangen. Immerhin: Die Hufe sehen toll aus, die Pferde bleiben fit, und fuer Langeweile ist auch keine Zeit. War mal wieder schoen, die Herde uebers Feld galoppieren zu sehen ...<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>One last time we moved the horses to a new pasture, this time with the snow mobile. In February we will start feeding hay. The horses would survive without but they already have to work pretty hard to paw through the snow to find grass. But: Their hooves look great, the horses stay fit and there is no time for boredom. Was nice again to see them cantering across the field ...</i><br />

Vor kurzem waren Nick, seine Mutter JoAnn und ich bei einer Bibliotheksveranstaltung in Sundance. Ehrengast war Craig Johnson, der in Wyoming lebt und mit seinen Sheriff Longmire-Krimis, die in den Bighorn Mountains spielen, beruehmt wurde. Mittlerweile gibt es sogar eine TV-Serie. Johnson ist ein geborerer Erzaehler - auch vor Publikum - und die Stunden vergingen im Fluge.<br />

<i>Recently, Nick, his mom JoAnn and I drove to a library fund raiser in Sundance. Special guest was Wyoming writer Craig Johnson who has become famous for his crime novels about Sheriff Longmire who solves murder cases in the Bighorn Mountains. A TV show has been made as well. Johnson is a born entertainer - also in front of an audience - and the hours just flew by.</i><br />
<br />
Der Tag danach war der kaelteste, den ich bisher in Wyoming erlebt habe. Die Temperatur lag tagsueber bei gefuehlten minus 35 Grad Celsius ... es wehte ein scharfer Wind ... das tut nur noch weh. Natuerlich mussten wir fuettern, denn das haelt Pferde und Vieh warm. Nachts bin ich schoen im Bett geblieben und habe die Tiere bemitleidet, die das nicht koennen.<br />
<br />
<i>The day after was the coldest I have experienced in Wyoming. The temps were down to a felt minus 30 Fahrenheit / minus 35 Celsius - during the day ... a strong wind was blowing ... it was really painful to be outside. We had to feed the horses and livestock, of course since that keeps them warm. But at night when I was laying in bed I felt sorry for the critters who could not.</i><br />

Zu Weihnachten hatte sich Beefalo Bernadette entschieden, unsere kleine Winterherde zu verlassen und zum Nachbarn und seiner Rinderherde zu uebersiedeln. Sie sprang ueber ein paar Zaeune und liess sich haeuslich nieder. Das fanden weder der Nachbar noch wir so toll. Also zog Nick auf Cloud aus, um Bernadette nach Hause zu bringen. Aber so ein Beefalo hat einen groesseren Freiheitsdrang als eine Durschnittskuh. Es kam zum Showdown in Nachbars Korral!<br />
<br />
<i>On Christmas Day beefalo Bernadette had decided to leave our little winter herd and move over to the neighbor and his cattle herd. She jumped a few fences and settled right down. Neither the neighbor nor we were thrilled. So Nick took Cloud and rode out to bring Bernadette home. But a beefalo loves her freedom much more than the average cow. Showdown at the neighbor's corral! </i><br />
<br />
Bernadette schlug immer wieder Haken, und irgendwann konnte Cloud nicht mehr so schnell durch den Schnee galoppieren ... er war ja auch nicht in Bestform, sondern kam direkt aus dem Winterurlaub. Die erste Runde ging an Bernadette. (Gaeste, die an unserem Team Penning teilgenommen haben, koennen sich vielleicht an Bernadette erinnern ;-) Dann trieben wir sie in eine engere Umzaeunung, aus der sie den Tag zuvor herausgesprungen war. Ich blieb dieses Mal vor Ort, um das Rindsviech vom Springen abzuhalten, waehrend Nick den Trailer holte. Die zweite Runde ging an Nick.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Bernadette cut across the pasture at high speed and at some point Cloud could not keep up anymore in the snow ... he was not in his best form since Nick just pulled him out of his winter vacation. The first round went to Bernadette. (Guests who participated in our team penning, may remember Bernadette ;-) We then moved her into a smaller fenced-in area out of which she had jumped the day before. This time I stayed to keep the bovine from jumping while Nick fetched the trailer. The second round went to Nick.</i><br />
<br />
Jetzt sind alle Rinder an der Ranch, und wir fuettern sie mit Heu. Zum Einen, weil es langsam Zeit wurde, zum Anderen, um Bernadette zum Bleiben zu ueberreden. Bin gespannt, wie lange sie es dieses Mal aushaelt.<br />
<br />
<i>Now all the cattle are at the ranch and we are feeding them with hay. Because it had become time to do so and because we'd like to persuade Bernadette to stay. I am curious how long she'll hang around this time.</i><br />

Freitag war so ein schoener Tag, sonnig, warm, windstill ... Wyoming tut das gern, laesst Dich einen Tag vom Fruehling traeumen, nur um Dir dann drei weitere Monate Winter um die Ohren zu schlagen. Heute schneit und stuermt es wieder, und die Temperaturen fallen ...<br />
<br />
<i>Friday was a beautiful day, sunny, warm, without wind ... Wyoming likes to do this, taunt you one day with the dream of spring just to follow up with another three months of real winter. Today it is snowing again, the wind blows and the temps are falling ...</i><br />
<br />
Nick ist fuer ein paar Tage weg auf Familienbesuch ... als ob die Ranch es wuesste: Der Wassertank friert ein, fast 40 Pferde stehen ploetzlich beim Nachbarn im Garten, Beefalo Bernadette besucht einen anderen Nachbarn, um sein gutes Heu zu fressen, Kaelber Oreo und Maybelline tanzen nachts auf meiner Terasse und bringen Gauge und mich dem Herzinfarkt nahe ... und ... ein Hund stirbt.<br />
<br />
<i>Nick is gone for a few days visiting family ... as if the ranch knows: The water tank freezes, close to 40 horses are suddenly standing in the neighbor's garden, beefalo Bernadette took off to another neighbor to eat his nice hay, calves Oreo and Maybelline were dancing on my porch at night causing Gauge and I to almost get a heart attack ... and ... one dog dies.</i><br />
<br />
Bordercollie Penny, die wir in Pflege hatten und schon seit Jahren kennen, wurde ueberfahren. Als ich abends zur Lodge gehen wollte, sah ich Penny direkt vor unserem Haus in einer Blutlache am Strassenrand liegen. Der Fahrer hat leider nicht angehalten. Huetehunde wie Penny jagen gern Fahrzeuge, das ist ihnen schwer abzugewoehnen, aber wir haetten uns die Muehe machen muessen ... Zwinger und Kette sind keine wirklichen Optionen. Es kommen nur ein paar Fahrzeuge am Tag vorbei, aber eines reicht. Penny ist wohl auf dem Eis ausgerutscht, und der Fahrer konnte wohl nicht mehr bremsen. Ich weiss es nicht. Ich weiss nur, dass Penny schnell gestorben sein muss - der einzige Trost - und ich musste sie nicht erschiessen.<br />
<br />
<i>Border Collie Penny who we were taking care of and have known for years was hit by a vehicle. When I wanted to walk up to the lodge in the evening, I found Penny directly in front of our house laying in her blood on the side of the road. Unfortunately, the driver never stopped. Herding dogs like Penny like to chase cars. It's difficult to keep them from doing it but we should have tried harder ... a kennel or a chain aren't real options. There are only a very few vehicles driving by in a day but one was enough. Penny must have slipped on the ice, the driver must not have been able to break in time. I don't know. I only know that Penny must have died quickly - my only consolation - and I did not have to shoot her.</i><br />
<br />
Am Freitag, diesem wunderschoenen Tag, habe ich Penny mit dem 4-wheeler rausgefahren und unter einen Baum gelegt (der Boden war zu hart gefroren, um sie zu begraben), ganz in der Naehe der anderen toten Tiere, von denen wir uns ueber die Jahre verabschieden mussten. Und wie die meisten von Euch aus eigener Erfahrung wissen: Jedes dieser Tiere nimmt ein Stueck von Deinem Herzen mit.<br />
<br />
<i>On Friday, this amazing day, I drove Penny out on the 4-wheeler and laid her down under a tree (the ground was frozen too hard to bury her), close to all the other animals which we had to part from throughout the years. And as most of you know from experience: Every one of these critters takes away a piece of your heart.</i><br />
<br />
Good bye, Penny!<br />
