Gift Shop open again.
We’ve been up in the high pasture the last couple months and been so busy fixin’ fence and making sure everything was OK the Gift Store had the “Gone Fishin'” sign up. Now we’re back in the saddle and hope you come by for a visit. If you have any good ideas of what you’d like to see in the store for Christmas let us know. There’s still a bunch of chores to get done before the snow flies, wood to cut and all that. You know wood heats you four times;
1. when you cut it
2. when you slpit it
3. when you stack it
4. when you burn it.
:)
Labor day is gone and we’re “winterizing”. Doesn’t seem fair at all, but time doesn’t wait and we can’t either.
Write a note in the forum when you get a minute. As the sign says downtown, “If you can’t stop wave as you go by!”

September 17th two shows in Amite, LA. 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM
September 20th in Greenwood, MS 10:30 AM
September 21st in Jackson, MS 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM
It’ll be fun so if your anywhere near by come on down and join in, lend a hand as a volunteer or just sit back and enjoy the show, it’s always a treat!
As my ol’ buddy Gaylord (one of the funniest horse acts you ever might see) used to say.
“Why do they call you Tex, you’re not from Texas”
“No, I’m from Louisiana, but Tex is a lot better than Louise!”
Don’t miss the show partner!

Black Stallion Experience Opens This Weekend!!
The new Black Stallion Experience opens this weekend at the Kentucky Horse Park!
It’s an all new and beautiful wing of the Museum at the Horse Park just outside of Lexington, KY.
The special exhibt “A Gift of the Dessert” will only be there a few months but the Arabian wing that features the “Black Stallion Experience” is part of the permanent galleries.
If you’re lucky enough to be there this summer for a show, the Rolex or the World Equestrian Games … or if you’re just visiting on a drive down I-75 … take a look!
The Black Stallion is your guide through the world of the Arabian horse from the dessert to the show ring.
We hope to get some pictures of the gallery soon but it’s been such a fast and secret ride we don’t have any yet.
If you DO get to visit be sure to write us back and tell us what you think.
Check back soon for more news and photos!
