Things sure have been busy for Trent and I in the last few weeks. We are beginning to feel like world travelers, which is very odd for us since usually we stick pretty close to home. We attended the Best of the Remuda Horse Sale at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. We got to look at some really nice horses and were honored to be the high bid on two stud colts from the Haythorn Land & Cattle Co. We can't wait to see how they turn out.
As soon as we got back from Fort Worth, Trent and Charley (Trent's cousin) got started breaking the 2 and 3 year old geldings. They all behaved themselves and we didn't have any major mishaps. The only major problem was the weather. Most days were below zero which makes riding in cowboy boots a bit hard. I don't know many horse trainers that start horses in muck boots or pack boots but around here this time of the year it is a necessity. These geldings get a week of riding in the winter and then will get their full time jobs this summer.

After a week of horse training it was time to go have fun again, Trent and Charley competed at the Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City SD in the Stray Gathering and at the Ranch Rodeo. No money was won but they made a good showing and had a good time. Hopefully next year goes better!
