HAPPY TRAILS....

 

Each year the 'wagon train' comes through our area.  There's a little over a week of when equestrians come to our area, camp out, have horse shows, vendors, and just plain fun.  This is the first year we have had an opportunity to see/be involved in any part of it.  Even this year, we saw very little. Stephen and I were able to go over a couple of nights, see the shows, talk to people and just enjoy the horses, mules, miniature horses, etc.  The activities usually didn't end until about 2 a.m. We didn't stay that long, but did enjoy what we got to see.

We also got to take Jordan and Trevor to see the wagon train parade (Jonathan was on a date that particular day).  We totally enjoyed it...and hope we can do even more things next year.

I loved the ones horses that were a little feisty like these two beauties.

As it was almost the fourth of July on the day of the parade, some of the wagons and horses were decorated in red, white and blue.

I thought at first these were pink (lol)

There were also a lot of children riding...so cute!

This veteran was a favorite of mine. See how proud he rides.

Then there were a few that couldn't handle their horses..this one was pretty wild.

Well, that's all for now. Going to catch up with each of you.

Our home town had wonderful parades--lots of horses, rides and shows. It was great. I even got to march in the high school band playing my clarinet. I loved the pictures and they brought back many memories. This is the side of life we miss so much nowadays.

RYC thanks for your visit and encouragement. Life can be fun.

@sweet_sinceritee - Thanks, Tee.  The 27th must be THE date for hearts.  Keeping you in my prayers.


@ANVRSADDAY - I love parades anyway...but esp ones with horses.


@feedwaterclean - Thanks, my friend. Horses just do something for the heart and soul, don't they?

This reminds me of the parades in my hometown. The Rodeo of the Ozarks comes every July 1st through 4th, and there's a rodeo parade on the first and the fourth. There are small floats, the band marches, and other stuff, but mostly there's LOTS of horses and wagon trains!

@kidzandK9z - I'm not sure why we haven't met--esp if we have some xanga friends in common   I LOVE horses and all things western. Though I don't own my own one ...YET..I love riding them every chance I get, seeing them every chance I get, etc.  I take loads of pics of them and fortunately, we have some places around here where they don't mind if you take pics, love on them etc.  The veteran was one of my favorite pics.  He was so regal and looked the hero he truly is. I'll drop by your site. later.

@stephensmustang - Thanks a lot for committing to drop by. If you love horses, you can get atleast 20% of your fix there. I love to photograph them too. What is the story behind your screen name and the profile pic?

@kidzandK9z -  Short version of my name....My husband says I have an untamed spirit like a mustang...meaning I do what I believe is right and what God desires for me to do...not what others say/think.  I am also a little loud, outspoken, rebellious and definitely unique. LOL.  My husband's name is Stephen..and doesn't try/want to 'fence me in" .hence stephensmustang.  The profile pic---horses seem to just 'take to me' (I think they feel the love) and this is one we just happened to catch on film.  There are others as well.

That was a cool explanation!..horses and dogs especially feel the same about me. I dont think I understand them as much as they do me though!
