This rodeo started my busy month of July. We took three horsese, I was running Abby, Mesa on Junior and we took one of Mesa’s new horses called Ozzie for her friend Sidney to run. We get there and I get Abby out of the trailer to find that she had somehow managed to cut the inside of her back leg. We were in a new trailer and only about an hour from the house so the med kit got left in one of the other trailers along with just about everything else. I hosed her off, wrapped it in paper tolls and vet wrap and saddled her up. One thing I really like about Abby is that no matter how many kicks, bumps, or bruises she gets it never seems to make her unsound or effect her performance. Mesa, Sidney and I all ran 15.4′s and were sitting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for a long time. My 15.4 was the slowest and by the end of the weekend I ended up one hole out but was VERY proud of Abby’s run.
Looks like the rodeo at Shenandoah outside Galena, IL went well in June. We heard from lots of people that they had a great time and we are glad to see you were apart of it. Hope you can come back again next year! From your friendly hosts for visitor information, the Galena/Jo Daviess County Convention & Visitors Bureau
