We left Thursday at noon and went to Casper, Sue doing cell calls to the local VFW Auxiliary leader…. Seem Tenny’s Patriotic drawing won State and also get a $500 scholarship. Tenny needs to go to the State convention in June. Also if it don’t come back in the mail soon there is a could change she might win the national contest. One out of fifty one chances right now.
Well we were up early to watch her pole vault. Her and the gal from Douglas waited till 8 feet to go in. The gal from Douglas missed twice at the starting height so Tenny was the Lead right up to 9’6” when all 4 girls that were left missed, 2nd try the gal from Douglas made it, The other missed their next 2 tries so Tenny ended up 2nd in state.
Mom Sue and I went and had Lunch when the lady from SD (Katrina on rancher.net ) called and wondered were we were. She hauled a palomino mare the last 7 hour to Casper, we loaded the mare and Katrina and went back up to the State track meet .Tenny came out and we got some picture. Took Katrina back to her truck and headed home. After 7 hours with a long dinner break (restaurant was SLOWWWWWWWWWW)we turn off the highway and see lights a mile away at Mom’s house. We get there are 3 sheriff cars and the brand inspector . they had just got the heifers off the road not back into the pasture but an alfalfa field. The bulls were off the hill some on the road some in the alfalfa field above my house. We got them back into their pasture and fixed fence while Sue went and took care of the poor horse that been in a trailer for the last16 hours.

At the track banquet tonight I found out that Tenny also made the 3 A All State girls track team.
The girls team finished 3rd in state, boy were runner up.2 boys made the All state boys team...

Sounds like an exciting time was had by all. Congratulations to Tenny on her pole vaulting success. Anywhere even close to 9'6" is a very high obstacle--scares me to think about falling from that high up. :wink:

You kind of have to watch Katrina. She is a horse trader from the word "go," and she has that innocent look that catches her trading partners unaware. :wink: :)

You mean to tell me you TRADED with her. O man! I though she just was sending a mare to a stallion or something.

Is the horse still alive? :???:

Can she walk? :???:

Have you tried to ride her yet? :???:

Ooooo, this might not be too pretty! :shock:

Another wonderful trip to meet some more very fine ranchersnet friends..
I thought before I met jody and his family that it would be a vary long trip back to south dakota without my mare..... But after meeting them and their daughter I had absolutely no qualms about leaving my mare..
Jody and Suellen, your daughter is the best, I just love her. I know Pal will get along fine and I do hope she gets to go to college with your daughter...... That would be way cool.......

When I pulled into the yard the horses all whinnied at me..... And I have one buckskin that is still pouting about his friend being gone.

Thanks Jody.
