Since my last blog I told you about the trip I was going to take to Texas to meet up with Rickey Green and Speed Williams, so here’s a quick update on what happened. At Rickey and Kelly Green’s I met with two bronc riders Casey Sisk and Cody Taton. Casey is leading the first round of the bronc riding at the Ft. Worth Rodeo, Taos Muncy the 2008 World Champion Bronc rider gave us a couple of tickets to the rodeo, that was very interesting.
While I was at Speed Williams’ met my new friend Marty Becker from Oregon. Marty is riding one of the all time great heel horse’s named Chili Dog, Marty is really a good roper but most of all a gentleman and super nice guy with a lot of class. I look forward to our friendship in the future.
The day after the rodeo I went to watch the calf roping at the quarter horse show, which had 130 entries. I had a great a visit with Robbie Schroder and his wonderful, wonderful wife Joan. I had the pleasure of meeting their friend Tommy Houston, who is a legend in the quarter horse world, and cattle rancher. He’s been around a long time in the Weatherford area.
At the rodeo I bumped into my old friends Jake Rodriquez and Bob Tallman. Bob was the announcer and he was proud to exhibit his 2 grandkids who were the center of his conversation.
While at Rickey Green’s, who did I see on the other side of the fence, well it was Clay and Brian Cooper’ s Rickey’s neighbor and friends mine for the last couple of years.
The trip was full of fun things and fun people. I definitely learned to heel a little better, which is a pretty complex sport, it can either make you high or make you cry, but right now we’re having fun doing it.
Well that’s the update on my trip. Now I’m getting Turbo ready for the spring shows, not sure which ones yet. The Futurity Colts are getting better every single day and Cody and I are having a lot of fun. Cody’s colt looks really good.
That’s it for now folks….
