Went down to Rapid after chores and hooked up with my buddy from the Sandhills. We walked around and seen all the sights and watched some cattle cutting. Had a good time, tho’ we would have fun hauling rocks. Ol’ Marty is a fun guy.
Bought a new pair of Boulet boots, made in Canada. So that ought to make all my Canadian readers happy, that I helped out their economy. đ
Struck me funny that there are all them horses there who were designed to do one thing and it’s pretty much for the amusment of mankind. Very few of them people would take any of those horses out and actually do any sorting or anything like that out in the rocks and cactus with any of them horses. They are there just for workin’ cows in a pen full of soft sand. And don’t get me wrong, I like that kind of breeding and cowy horses, but to think of all the money that was tied up in those horses and trainer fees, fuel, etc…, just so them people could play at doing what lots of us do as part of our work, pretty regularly. Amazing!
I don’t know what is gong on with the size of the letters in this post. I cut and pasted a comment and it seems to have messed it up. Hope it’s not too confusing.

Boulet boots, the Bossman calls ’em bunion scabbers:) I didn’t mind mine but never used them to ride in (not enough arch support).
Just like the reining horses, when have you ever needed to go out and piroquet in circles?
Glad you had a nice time at the Stockshow with Saddletramp. I would bet there is not a boring moment with you two! Maybe I will get there next year. lol.
Kinda turned back to winter here this morning. Got a little snow and a little wind.
