County Fair Pictures.......




Good Monday morning all!  It has been a hectic week here on the farm, our county fair was last week, and we were super busy getting some of our mules and horses ready to show. Our week was full of practices, working, bathing, feeding, watering, etc...and we had record high temps which didn't help, but we manged to get through it. We just kept hydrated, and made sure the horses had plenty of water, shade and rest at the fairgrounds! 

I didn't ride in the fair this year, but I did show one of our horses in halter, and Terry showed a couple of his mules. Terry's nephew Cannon did ride our oldest quarter horse Dior in the fair, and they did excellent. They got the blue ribbon and a trophy in every pleasure class they entered.....I was so proud of them both.........

Here they are coming out of the gate ....




Showing off the ribbon and trophy.....





Here they are going into the halter class, where they placed second, which was pretty good considering Dior turned 19 this year! He is still looking great for his age........





Snapshots before the show started......

I am running a little short on time, so the rest of this post will just be pictures from the week's events, enjoy! Have a great Monday everyone!
