Way Back When

I just thought I would share this photo of my great grand parents. Marcella and Clyde Haworth. I don't really have a memory of Great Grandpa as he passed away when I was really young but Granny Haworth i remember well. She was a very sweet lady, and a good God fearin' women.

Stephens County Free Fair 2010

Well the start to getting ready for the Stephens County Free Fair was very interesting to say the least. Between Rooster being a turd and then the city deciding to flush all the water hydrants and not telling anyone(while I was mid wash with Rooster) I was beginning to wonder about are up coming events.

I finally decided instead of looking at the class 1/2 empty, that I would be a glass 1/2 full kinda gal. So I said okay all these trails I am going through must mean something good is waiting for me. So I sucked it up finish washing Rooster with what water I could get to drizzle out of the hose and finished banding him by the headlights of my truck!

The next morning I was having doubts again, kinda feeling like I was going to attend a strongman competition. Why you ask?!? Because the class for halter that i was going to compete in where 5 and under mares and 5 and under stallions. Ouch!

Needless to say my worries where just me being me! We left today with a Grand Champion Stallion and Coffee with her first show ever left with Reserve Grand Champion Mare!

I am tickled pink.

The Judge even took the time to come over and ask me how my stallion was bred. I told her and she told me that he was a very nice horse, he looked really good and her profiled wonderfully! She told me Coffee has a very refined head, very well balanced and has a gorgeous hip on her! I love to hear a judge complement my horse, makes me feel good!

So here are some pics. Hope you enjoy them!
