The biggest news around here is the Mustang Challenge. Eric was chosen as one of 35 big hearted and wild minded folks willing to spend the summer with a mustang. After 100 days of working with similar horses, there is a competition at the State Fair too see who has made the most of their horse. An extreme mustang makeover!
So last weekend, Tess and I went to Wheatland with Eric to pick up the beast. He came down the alley at a lope, kicking at the horseman behind him and into a chute where Eric and helpers put a halter on him before he went into our trailer somewhere near Mach 2.

There were several reporters there and so Eric is now somewhat famous:

That was last weekend. Since then I have been what I have termed a mustang widow.
The good news is that for mothers day I got a new camera....
Which of course I have to take mustang photos with.....







Saddle! This was after Eric's had him a week.

What a handsome fellow!
