Your dad sounds like an awesome man.Hey, hey, ya'll! Homegrown, country-raised, true farm gal here, well... the animal husbandry type anyway (beef cattle & horses)... Just don't ask me to run a combine or a cotton gin. I know my limits!
However, I can operate multiple pieces of equipment (like bushhogs, discs, plows, hay rakes, tedders, balers, etc.), a variety of "mid-size" tractors, and even can level dirt with a bucket or stack haybales in a barn with forks on front end loaders. I can perform basic maintanence (like changing the oil, greasing alemites, packing bearings) on dozens of different vehicles and trailers, and I've even been known to track down shorts and fix wiring harnesses if I have to. I can drive t-posts in the ground with the best of them and string up however many miles of fencing straight as needed.
As my dad once said, "I didn't raise you to be a girl, or a boy. I raised you to be independent and take care of yourself." And I'm so glad he did. So... Is there anyone else out there who can show off their farm/country/rural smarts? I'll start. This is me a couple of years ago, starting a colt that I've raised. This was his first independent ride, and I got to give him all of his education from his first haltering to the present part of learning specific arena manuevers. I can take a horse from birth to grave with all sorts of training and care in between.

These photos don't have to have your face in them. And if you have your own craft that kinda fits this category, throw that in too. I love the feeling of satisfaction that comes from the long days working the land, tending the critters, etc. I hope this inspires some of our more rural members to come out and socialize.
I'm not a country guy, but I can appreciate hard work and talent anywhere. Seems like you have both!
Omg Yes, way to much concrete and asphalt these day's !!!!
I admire you, I was raised on a small farm and wish i'd listened to my dad. I thought I was smarter than him and left for bigger things as soon as I could, not the best decision I ever made. There's not a week that goes by that I don't think how I wish I had stayed on the farm, i've missed everything about it. God bless you and your family for what y'all do.Hey, hey, ya'll!

I'm the furthest from a country guy but the photos are all great, thank you for sharing them!
A little of everything, hogs, cattle and chickens mostly, raised some crops to sell at farmers market for extra cash. This was back in the 50s to the late 70s, so we had a little of everything but tobacco.

I never quite understood barrel racing… barrels are really slow so the horse alway wins! Great pic though! ;-)

These are both gorgeous pictures of you on horseback. I think possibly you're happiest there!
