A GREAT DAY!!!

2nd place-hay bag & 4th place was the necklaceWell it was a great day! I went to a Women's Sorting at Rim Rock Cowboy Church and had a great time! I took "Preacher" and we did awesome! He is a sortin machine! (or as hubby calls him his secret weapon!) There were 3 teams to come back for a run off for 2nd and I wish I had given the camera to someone to capture him working. Man-he is just awesome, sitting and cutting! One thing I can say when he is working cattle you better be sitting in the middle of his back or he will smooth cut out from under ya! I took my camera but left it in the truck! UGH!!! We placed 2nd & 4th and brought home a hay bag and a cool necklace. Way to go "Preacher", thanks for a great time!

MY BLOGGING SPACE

Well Pony Girl had a great idea to post our blogging space. So without further ado here is mine! I just moved it from our bedroom, so I do not have everything where I like it yet! There is always a drink of some sorts there, various scraps of paper, notebook, horse mags, bills, catalogs, pens, etc. I hate the phone jack hanging in the pic, but we only have one and that is where it is! I have a window to the left that I can look out and see my four legged critters! This room also has my treadmill, sewing machine, bar table, bookcase (with various equine literature) and my rocking chair. Thanks Pony Girl I have really enjoyed seeing every one's blogging space! If you want to do this, just click on Pony Girl's site and post a comment on this post, so we can all see it!

TRIP TO THE VET

Today I had to take "Preacher" and "Angel" to the vet. Of course when I was hooking up it was thundering and looking like it was going to be nasty! Just great, I'm not worried about driving in it, worried about all the other idiots on the road! LOL! So left alittle bit early and it poured all the way there and then misted while we were waiting! So what do you do when you are waiting? Well I heel the little cowgirl, great practice! "Preacher" has to have his hocks injected, the last time we had it done was last November. So he examined him and then injected him. He has recommend Hylagen 60 to be given everyday. Wondering if anyone has ever used it and there thoughts? My little cowgirl loves to take pics and documented it for you all! He rechecked "Angel" and was glad to see the swelling decreasing and said to just keep up what I am doing. Hopefully there isn't going to be too much indention there. She still has alittle bit of scar tissue, but it should just keep dissipating over time. WOO HOO! I was beginning to worry that she was going to have a hump on her neck! I can say we are blessed to have a great vet and someone that I can trust. He takes such great care of our horses! Thanks Dr. Thoni and Dr. Pool! You rock! When we got back home I decided to go ahead and ride "Angel." But decided to torture her alittle with some bareback time! She just loves it, she just stands there! I love her so!

Waiting to turn into the vet! What is it about trailers and kids and dogs??

Injecting "Preacher's" hocks

I look like a frog! LOL! This one just cracks me up! I look like I am doing my idea of Flashdance! I guess all I need is water and not be sticking my tongue out! I wasn't going to post these, but little cowgirl insisted! I figured you all could use a laugh! *And yes I am this goofy all the time!*

**I think that was the movie, can't remember. Where she is on stage and leans back on the chair. **

ROAD TRIP

On June 4 hubby surprised me and Savannah with tickets to a Women's Ranch Rodeo in Hamilton, Texas. So we loaded up and headed that direction. It took us about 2 hours to get there and we had a blast! I had said I had wanted to go and see some of the events they were doing so we may get some new ideas for ours in September. Had no idea he was planning this the whole time! You should have seen this arena in Hamilton! Holy cow! The pictures do not do it justice! It was at Circle T Arena. There is a hotel on site, a huge covered warm up pen, tons of stalls and a huge arena. The arena on one end had a grill/cafe where you could sit at the end of the pen and watch. At the other end is where the contestants waited and it was covered as well. There was also a restaurant, bar, saddle shop, clothes, hay, feed, etc. It was diffidently amazing! I got to talk with the owner when I went to get Savannah a hamburger. He sure was nice and said he wanted a arena that everything! Well I would say he accomplished that!! Thanks Honey it was a great day!

The top picture was taken as we where pulling in to the parking lot. The arena is in the middle, the warm up pens/stalls are up on the hill to the right. And the second picture is the hotel. This place was massive!
