I was on the sidelines, novice live streaming the Ranch Horse classes. It was time for Ranch Horse Versatility. This is a pattern that combines a trail pattern with a reining pattern. The horse and rider have to canter over a small jump (lined with flowers), drag a fifty thousand pound tire with a roping lasso, do rollbacks and lead changes.Be still my heart!
I was videoing some of the individuals doing their pattern. They all were doing great. The Amateur class participants were done and came into the arena awaiting the placings announcements from sexy Announcer, Vic Rowden. (Vic had won a three way #1 Boyfriend tie just recently at the June Spring Show.)
The young ribbon girl had gone into the arena loaded with the ribbons. I was standing beside my car with phone camera awaiting the announcement. My name was called. SUSAN! I startled. Young handsome Harry Patterson gestured me to come into the arena. What! Again, he gestured. I looked around for the photographer. I didn’t see her. I walked over to the judge’s entry gate and slithered into the arena. I tried to shrink and become invisible. I don’t belong in the arena! Most everyone in charge of this show likes me, no one growled at me to exit. I waited.
The announcer called out the Ranch Horse Versatility Amateur World Champion horse and rider. Suddenly, I knew why I was there. This was a moment to be preserved forever and I was the lucky one to do it!
A beautiful and famous black stallion, Boss’ Midnight Cash, was named Ranch Horse Versatility World Champion! Harry Patterson of Wichita Falls was named Amateur Ranch Horse Versatility World Champion!

This is Harry giving me a special kiss. I got a kiss from a cowboy on a black stallion.
I fainted!
