Owyhee was the first county created in Idaho in 1863, during the heydays of the gold and silver rush. It’s the second largest county in Idaho, situated in the southwest, encompassing scenic mountains, desert canyons, historic Silver City, the Snake River. It’s ranching country - the Joyce Ranch was established in 1865 and still runs cattle on the ranges. It’s riding country. Saddle up your horse, bring your hat, and come experience the Owyhee wild country.
The artwork of Owyhee Designs reflect the colors and flavor of the Owyhee country. The barbed wire designs come from rusted Owyhee county barbed wire. The bracelet and necklace stones reflect the colors of the country: pink, rust, tan of the desert; magenta, plum, crimson of the rhyolite cliffs; green of the sagebrush; blue of the Snake River.

Owyhee Wallerin'


Wednesday March 4 2015

It's great when your Owyhee riding partner is willing to take time out of your ride, if you just gotta stop and waller in the snow in the Owyhee mountain foothills. Particularly if you can't ever get enough of snow in a dismally dry winter.


Note the thumbs up gesture up top. And for the record, the horses both thought I was a little nuts.

Owyhee: God's Country


Tuesday March 3 2015

It's a coooooooold windy enough Owyhee day for full chaps. My favorite temperature!

It's God's Country. Although not so much in the summer.
