Although I've spent a lot of time at the National Western Stock Show over the past two weeks helping out with the 4-H School Tours Educational program, Chris and I got to go this weekend to enjoy it. I guess we don't realize what a huge show it is for the Western US, as it is in our own back yard. We had tickets to the rodeo and saw a beautiful 6-horse Percheron hitch with a tremendously talented driver. He was amazing with what he could get those horses to do. For me, that was the best part.
Here's the Draft Horse hitch. They were beautiful.
The cutest part was the Mutton Bustin' -- 5 & 6 year old kids attempting to stay on a sheep while it runs full speed across the arena. I couldn't stop laughing!

Awaiting your next post!! Can't wait to hear whats going on in your life =)
Rachel's right - where are the posts! Guess what! A friend of ours was crowned some kind of Queen at the National Western Stock Show in Denver! After hearing that I was surprised - I didn't even realize they were there. Her being queen has something to do with the Herefords. Which to me sounds really funny - a queen of the cows! But there is a place for everyone right! Hopefully we'll hear from you soon! Love ya, Lis
