American Paint Horse World Show

This is a big "Cowboy Up" to my parents and brother Drew who are in Texas for the 2008 World Paint Horse Show. Mom shows Saturday morning, Dad shows Sunday and Drew on Monday. My Dad was a World Champion in 2006 in the Amateur Weanling Stallions class with Mr. Woodsly. Here's a photo:



Best part of the win, was Drew fit this horse himself. No big trainer to help, just a lot of hard work!!

If anyone is interested in watching some of the show, view the live broadcast (which starts Thursday morning) at:

Nicole ~ How cool is this! The husband is a horse person. Me... not so much, but only because of my asthma and allergies. Achoo!

Oh Nicole - I DREAMED of your life all my life...paints were always my dream and I still do love horses but life has a way of making those dreams not so much a reality...Cody is allergic and Scott is not much of an animal person. You rock! Now I really wish I were your sister in reality :)

ok this will make you laugh - Cody is in the room with me and he has started sneezing...he only does this when he is around horses...I told him "I'm just LOOKING at a horse - it's on the COMPUTER...GEESH!"
