I’m leaving Saturday morning to enter into the huge headquarters of the Missouri Fox Trotter world. It’s like a World Fair of Fox Trotters, adults, kids, teenagers, horses, golf carts, mobile shopping center, food courts, trailer shopping, and the wonderful people in the office that are the glue that binds all this stuff together.
And next Friday, the Budweiser horses will be on the showgrounds! They will make their appearance in the historic arena early Friday evening. They will come, hang out for a while, make an exciting appearance, hang out and then leave. BOY HOWDY!
It’s around a 5 hour drive. I have most everything packed and ready to make it there.
I plugged in my air conditioner last night and it worked, but vibrated pretty bad. Yep, I had the husband take the truck and trailer to an air conditioning place today and mud dobbers had made a big heavy mud pie on the air conditioning fan…the little beastly creatures! So here’s hoping my air conditioner will make it thru the week long event.
I show in the Versatility World…everything is a pattern. Every step my horse, Nova, takes is OK’d by the big boss on top..me! Also in the Versatility Arena is the Ranch Horse events…the real thing…cutting, roping, cow working. That’s what Jenny Vaught and my horse, Velvet, are going to be doing. Velvet is in fine fine shape. She loves to cut cows. It’s like the shows you see of the horse doing all the work keeping the cow away from its herd and the cowgirl just sitting up there. Velvet is doing that. Plus she run as fast as the wind chasing and passing the cow to stop and turn the cow. In addition, she make the cow circle in a figure 8. Jenny has a lot to do with all that happening. Plus it’s Jenny’s job to rope the cow when Velvet gets her in the perfect position. It’s a partnership kind of thing.
I’ve got my iPhone set up to do live recording. You’ll get to see all this happening. I’ve got my phone charger in my truck and another one to plug into near- by electricity, so you might get to see some of this exciting stuff happen!
Friend me on Facebook…that’s where the live streaming will be happening!
Here’s the blog where I’ll be living tomorrow thru next Saturday!
Visit me there with my beloved Missouri Fox Trotters!
I was just thinking about the scared lady that used to write about her and, was it Sage? Look at you now! Very proud of you, Ms. Susan. When I grow up…
Such excitement!!!
