Bob & Catherine-Horsing Around.

"We all know how competitive Catherine is
and this past weekend she, Tommy, Terry and I competed in
Open Arena Ranch Calf Sorting.
A team of three riders try to sort out seven calves in numerical
order in one minute or less, but with no fences or pens except the outer arena ring.

It is far more difficult than the conventional calf sorting
which is done in two much smaller rings.

Here is a picture of Catherine prior to the first sort.
Here is picture of Catherine and Touchstone trying to get their butts properly aligned and heading or 'rearing' in the same direction.
The final picture is of Bob, Dreamer and Larry, the arena owner,
sharing a laugh at Touchstone and Catherine's antics.
(Note the big 'horse laugh' on Dreamer's face.)
We are trying to get on the road but the weather is just not cooperating.

We may leave Missouri Wednesday morning.

Love,

Bob and Catherine"
