Shower's overrated anyway.....

The hydrophor broke down yesterday and no water kan thus be pumped up and distributed to the house, barns or cowshelters. Lots of running with buckets from the various stocktanks & troughs on the place still holding water. I'm glad this internet thing doesn't transmit smell as no shower's is in sight for a while ;)

Will head out for a private clinic tomorrow. Will be really fun as this ones stricktly about the hackamore to bridle deal. Will do a one day only though because of the water situation at home.

AQHA World Show is in full swing with too many classes and entry's to mention. A fun note though is the Amateur Cowhorse Finals today, where Betty Lou Valdez will compete on Smart Tic Tack. This mare is the one Annelie used on the Wagonhound ranch for the gather and branding we did back in 2007. Smart Tic Tack has won the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Youth Limited Championship two years in a row with Betty Lous daughter Kelly in the saddle.

Pretty decent horses in the cutting prelims also this Sunday. Smoothe Bye Design, Rascals Cat, Stylish Scotti, Bet Hesa Cat, Nievas and George C Merada in the Jr Cutting.
Boyd Rice and Sophisticaded Catt looking to repeat yet again in the Sr Cutting but runs in to Dont Look Twice and Phil Rapp amongst others.

Our 2yo Kick The Cat keeps improving. She's mostly all business when infront of a cow or Norsten the cutting machine. She can be a mess at times in the dry work though as she's got no patience what so ever for working on the fundamentals. You feel her whole body just itching and wanting to go, but put a cow infront of her and it's like flipping a switch. Cool and frustrating at the same time....

Me and Ida at the racetrack Saturday handing out prizes in our (ALN:s) race.
