I had a ball watching my son and his friends perform at our neighboring ranch's Wild West Show last week.
My son works there and spends a lot of time with the horses.
He found a bevy of country chicks to hang out with too.



The show kicked off with a salute to our flag..





Watching the youngsters compete in the hide racing event was all fun...



My son won the balloon shoot and some racing events riding a retired racing Thoroughbred.
You can see the popped red balloon here.





That horse is still smooth as silk, in it's prime it won over 300 grand in prize money...



My wife supplies vintage wardrobe accessories at these events and I must say, they do look mighty fine...

Here's my lil Injun Squaw leaning on my friend Cowboy Jack's Limousine...





This guy is good...



Jack likes his horses BIG...



My buddy Butch drives a pretty mean stage as well...



Oh to be a teenager again, these lil gals are going to break a million hearts, no wonder my kid spends so much time over there..







And away they go....



The BBQ and refreshments lasted long into the night leaving a few cobwebs the next morning, but what a great day.

Happy Trails....

You're doing it right Sal. It's been a pleasure watching your son grow into the man he's become.

Thanks for sharing that with us...you have my utmost respect.

Now, that was fun! Nice photo story!
