A Bittersweet Ride: Turning Out the Stud

😢Zar, our stud, will be turned out with the other horses in the stud pasture after recovering from a trailer injury.

🐴Despite his recovery, Zar's crooked leg prevents him from being ridden. He will now be used solely for breeding purposes.

🌅We go on one last ride with Zar, enjoying the beautiful sunset as we reflect on our time together.

🌠Although it's bittersweet, we're excited for Zar to join the other horses in the stud pasture.

🐮In addition to turning out Zar, we also gather cattle for sale and discuss upcoming ranch tasks.

—Zar will be used exclusively for breeding purposes as he is no longer able to be ridden.

Why is turning out Zar bittersweet?
