AQHA Show, L.V. Nev

Primping..

Las Vegas

The motley crew: Lynn, her friend Lisa, the trainer for their barn, and Kirby, one of their horses.

Travel, Las Vegas

OK, tell you right now, if you don't enjoy horses and adventures w Lynn, just delete the next several!
Made it to Vegas w 2 horses and Lisa (friend of Lynn's) in tow. Almost. Made it to Kingman, then Vegas after some truck repair!
Drove UNDER the hotel/casino where there are climate-controlled stalls for about 1500 horses, unloaded, set up, then, exhausted, checked in. This appears to be a group of people seriously enthusiastic about their Quarter horses...

Fencing Status

Hello All,

 Just a quick up-date on where the fence issue is.

 I did not hear to the contrary, so why don't we plan on T-Posts 18 feet apart, Smooth Wire, 4 wires horizontal, w the bottom wire 18 inches above the ground to facilitate elk calves ingress and egress w/o harm. OK?

 Second: Jim Younger is putting together a proposal through his company to see if he can be competitive...Yea! That will be forthcoming I do believe. Then I will simply put out the known costs involved, the $$ we have with which to work, and go from there. I do not think we have enough for the full project, so maybe we should buy the materiel, then work on it in pieces. The alternatives include increasing a temporary dues increase vs "special assessment" and I think I join the most of you, uh, no.

  I haven't been able to get up there for some time, it seems. I've had a rather unusual work schedule this summer, and, as most of you know, my land-lady unceremoniouslyl kicked me out in the street so I've had to move. Luckily I found a relative safe place so stability has increased somewhat. I do hear that for those who are lucky enough to enjoy that beautiful country the weather has improved and there is that "chill" in the air finally that implies a beautiful fall.

 See you later, and I don't think there is any other news. If there is, don't forget, anyone can publish a post (including a photo if you want), by writing to : rcdickson.autie@blogger.com.

Happy Labor Day!

A little horse trip into the back country.

John Wayne Ranch tour

A few of us visited the 26-Bar Ranch, once owned and frequented by The Duke here in Springerville. I'm holding the rifle he used in Rooster Cogburn, and the saddle its the one used in The Shootist. Many other very interesting artifacts and stories there as well. You're is free, very well worth the visit!
