Windmill Cattle Ranch - St Ignatius, MT

 

Another horse motel as we work our way down into Utah.
Windmill Cattle Ranch is a very nice place for a layover. The owner even mucked out the stalls for our horses and the stalls are super clean.


Mercy and Lennox are in adjoining stalls with their own shelters. The stalls are good sized. Plenty of room and very nice.
We have water and electric hook-up for our trailer and the wifi is excellent. We were able to play bridge on-line with our friends for the first time in about a week. 
There is an issue with the water connection, but not sure how to fix it yet. Water comes into the trailer, but doesn't come out of the tap.


Of course, when provided with so much nice cushy sand the first task is to take a good roll in it.

The horses are getting used to  having cows near by. No more Scottish Highland cows, just good ol' American cattle. Windmill hosts a roping clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not sure if we will join in tomorrow. I tore my rotator cuff a few weeks into this trip and my right arm is still not 100%. Even when I am 100%, I am lousy with a lariat.

On Monday,we took a drive to the nearby Bison Reserve hoping to see some wild bison. We were not disappointed.



How's that for up close and personal? We also saw our first wild elk on this trip.
