Actually it is more of a part time residence. I spend most of my days out on the Reservations. Here are some pictures from Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux Reservation. Taken in September.

Around here the horses are more of a necessity than a luxury. In many parts of South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming horse back is the best means of transportation. Especially in the back regions of the reservations, plus they are used on the cattle ranches. Horses are still valuable farm and ranch tools, and also good to have in the winter when the roads are blocked by snow.



This is Rowdy, Aabidahs favorite horse:

Our horses are out on the Cheyenne River Lakota Sioux Reservation. Here are some pictures out on the Cheyenne River Rez.
In the first picture the animals are Pronghorns, often called antelope. But they are not related to the true antelopes. They are a seperate species and the pronghorns are the only remaining members of the family. Beautiful animals. Very fast, I recently clocked a herd with my car and for over a mile and they kept up a speed of 40 MPH

As you can see this is very barren land with very few roads.

Cheyenne

I've heard that mentioned somewhere before and I remember I could never spell it correctly, I cant remember where though.

Do you use the horses to get to places too akhee?

My wife Aabidah is native American of the North Cheyenne Tribe. I mentioned that in several posts. The Cheyenne are closely related to the Sioux and were allies in fighting the white settlers.

We do occasionally use the horses for travel out on the reservation. However, for the most part we just raise them to sell.

Some more Pictures of our horses, these are part of our breeding herd, that we sell the foals from.

The white ones are beautiful masha'Allah :statisfie although it reminds me of the shi'aas in our area wiping their blood on their white horse :skeleton:

Ah yes...we read a little about the Cheyenne tribe in Psychology.

Ukhti Daffodil,

Periodically I have to use a wheel chair, but I have not used one for nearly a year now. Mashallah

I am considered 100% disabled,result of injuries during the Viet-Nam era.

My right arm and right leg were shattered and along with numerous other fractures, I have periods of time I am not very mobile. But, the past year has shown a tremendous improvement in my health and mobility. I remarried in April, started driving a car again, and as Allaah(swt) would have it I now seem to live in the car as we travel from 1,000 to 3,000 miles weekly.

I grew up in Connecticut, in the northern part of the state in what is now the Tunxis State Forest and the Metacomet Trail.

This is the area I grew up in:

One of my child hood friends is a resident in a nursing home. This next picture was taken at the nursing home, I could not resist taking it:

The pictures were taken in Nov 2008 at a time I thought was going to be my last visit anyplace.

I left Connecticut when I was 19 years old. Never did live for long in any cities, I guess I am a country boy at heart and love the woods, forests and open spaces like deserts or plains.

 

[Olive]

Oh my... that's beautiful man...

 

[Woodrow]

When I was up in Connecticut last year, I took quite a few pictures,

OOOps I just realized it was year before last. It was Nov. 2007 not 2008. But here are some pictures.
