Austin County Fair

My sister has been working on a Clydesdale farm for a few months and we had the opportunity to go see her ride at a show in Austin.  The horse she was riding had only been in training for 3 weeks before the show (that isn't very long at all).

Checking out the Longhorns

Cute little longhorn baby

Sheep with wool on

Calves

Moo!

Sheep with wool off

The coolest log cabin playhouse ever  - it even has a loft!

The ladder to the loft

Up in the loft!

Kristin driving a golf cart like daddy

Camryn along hanging out

Spence's first time in the ring

All lined up for final judging - They got first place!

Casey in harness

He looks so handsome

Bathing Ponies

Warm days mean baths for the ponies! The girls were a little unsure at first, but soon jumped right in to help out.

Watching Noni bath Whinny

Posing with Pika

Love this picture! So sweet! Kristin and Pika.

Giving Foxie an apple...it is half eaten on the ground below her.

Loving the curry comb.

Cam pat patting Foxie

Time for Romeo's bath!

Two girls working hard

Time to clean the hair off of the curry combs

This might appear dangerous...but Foxie is pretty much crippled and moves VERY slowly...

Foxie sticking out her tongue

Silly horsie!

Noni's Ponies

The girls love going to my parents' house to brush the ponies (and recently have decided that my mom's dog, Sage, is okay too). It makes me so happy to see them enjoy something that I love so much too. Horses are great! I'm pretty sure they kept me out of TONS of trouble as I was growing up. I was so busy taking care of my horse that I didn't get into much trouble. Great - just what we need...one more thing to start saving for now.

Sage - a.k.a. "nice puppy"

Pikachu and Whinny

Romeo

So much hair on the brush! (They call any hair "puppies"..as in puppy hair...the ponies are shedding like crazy so their brushes were always covered in hair. So they kept saying, "Whoa puppies!" every time they looked at their brushes) (K left, C right)

Kristin left, Camryn right - combing

So manly - french braids for Romeo. His mane is SO thick that he got 2 braids instead of the usual one.

Camryn with Romeo

Getting Whinny harnessed up

Getting the cart ready - Kristin left, Camryn right

Safety first! Pink and purple helmets in Size: Tiny.

Kristin was a little scared at first, so she volunteered Camryn to go first. Camryn was grinning the entire time. I'm pretty sure she loved her first cart ride.

Noni and Cam

Two girls and Noni (Cam in pink, Kristin in purple)

Helping hold the reins

Now we're the ponies! Just kidding, this thing is heavy!
