Update #2

So this weekend I was supposed to go to the Granger parade and then the Arlington rodeo but the barrel club we are part of had a change of schedule so we were not able to attend the Granger parade but instead we were able to make it to Arlington Oregon for their rodeo and parade. I recently sold my great queen horse Bert who has been my sidekick through all my years of queening, So this was my first Parade and Rodeo on my little mare that I had choosen to use, she has been to rodeos and has been roped off of, but has never been a "queen horse" so I was thinking we might have a little bit of a wreck on our hands once I put all the flowers, serape and all the other things that go along with the parade outfit.
I should have known, this little mare never gives me any trouble with anything new, and this time was no different, she took it all in and handled it like a pro she did so greaand I couldn't be more proud of her, and then she did it, when I was taking her bell boots off she touched the top of my WHITE hat with her Dirty nose.....I was just a little mad and not so proud of her then.
Next was time for the rodeo run out and there it was, a huge black tarp sized thing made out of garbage bag material tied down one corner of the arena, well with the wind blowing at what seemed to be 40mph it was no longer attached to the fence, once again she handled it like a pro and didn't even give it a second look. I just have to say I love my little mare, Bert will never be replaced as a great queen horse because he has been through so much with me, but the dun mare can definatly hold her own...all 14.1 hands of it.
This weekend I have the Zillah Parade but since I didn't get any pictures from Arlington I can not wait until the Wiley City Rodeo on the 15th so I can get some pictures of my arena run chaps to post because I absolutley LOVE them.

....Until next time.
