Adoption weekend!

So as I sit in line to load up my horses I figured I would tell everyone about my weekend. I came to Fort Worth really early Thurs morning to preview the first round of horses. Mary Kitzmiller and I walked and talked about every pen and things we liked and didn't like about each horse. I was having a really hard time because what I look for in a great barrel horse is not always what you need to do well in this competition. In fact something that might be slow is probably a little better. So we sat through the entire preview where they run each pen of six through the round pens so we can see them move. Out of 150 horses, I had no warm fuzziness about any of them. There were some nice ones but nothing that caught my eye. So I endured the Friday auction as all my training friends found there favorites. Friday night we took four mustangs to the Lyons in Whitesboro and came back Saturday to view the next 150 horses. There were a lot that I liked. I probably had twenty on my page. So today I waited until this big black 4 yo mare came in she had a white blaze and two back socks and she was a real mover. I had not seen her yesterday. I had to get her. Then I decided to wait and see how much my top pick went for and when I figured I could afford her I bought her too. So now I have a black mare and a dun mare. These next five months are gonna be fun!!!
