Hello everybody! We are back from out trip to TX. It was a fun trip – as always. Hope y’all can make it one year as well. Lots of good horses to look at, horse sales every day, great cutting to watch and (horsey)shopping out the wazoo…. Stacy and David ended up having to stay home at the last minute, so I took a cab from the airport and went to the celebrity cutting myself and waited for Pat and Doreen to arrive later on in the evening to pick me up….. from then on the fun began…. we went to horse sales two days in the row (I love the ones where they show the horses on cattle and people bid while the horses work cows). So the first two days the sales were with the horses under saddle (2yo in training, seasoned show horses etc) … then followed by horses in hand (yearlings, studs, broodmares) – so those are usually a bit boring unless you are there to seriously buy…. so that’s usually the time we go and watch some cutting and start shopping. Patrick arrived Wednesday evening and we had a couple of nice days all together before heading out on Saturday morning in the wee hours…. we drove all the way to Baton Rouge, where we unloaded the ponies and let them rest for the night. Then we left at around 2.30 in morning to finish our trip back to Anthony……the horses travelled well and settled in just dandy here in Florida (so far). Now they will get a rest for a few weeks and we’ll see what we got after the New Year’s….I’ll try to post some pictures soon… the ones I took today didn’t do them justice….
