..
It starts on very very late Friday night. 
I'm talking with Karen and we decide come rain or sunshine we are riding in the morning! The weather here has been so crazy. Heather who owns Rafter T Ranch was online as well and we have been talking about going to check out her ranch, so at last minute we decide to go see Heather and watch her at work.
I load trailer and get over to Karens to get her and the horses (Sam & Pepper).
(Pepper)
(Sam)
We got a kick out this...Pepper is sooooo big to poor Sam - LOL
Everything going great. We are both so excited about FINALLY having the oppurtunity to ride. We get gas and head for Rafter T Ranch. What a L-O-N-G drive but SO WORTH IT!!!!!!
We get horses unloaded and saddled. Heather and her 2 boys get saddled as well. She has great boys! They are both such gentlemen and sweet.
So now we are off - Yepee......................
BEAUTIFUL trails! Heather... now I understand why you don't come out to the 2666 trails too often. With these trails in your backyard...................................
WOW............................
Can we just say we had a BLAST!!!
Here are Heather's Boys........such a great pair! They kept us laughing the whole ride 
!
More fun......................
I had to get this pic on my blog. Heather has her companions as she rides on the trails. This is her lab who just HAS to get in every mud puddle!
Heather had warned us that she would have to rotate horses. Karen and I didn't care ..... heck as long as we were riding-lol!!!
Here is Heather on a VERY tall Throughbred she is training. Poor girl would NOT listen at first and Heather had to have her Circle Cirlce Circle. Hehehehe. We got a kick watching.
Heather went from a tall horse to this wonderful little paint. She was a cutie!
We had to have a picture time in a batch of sunflowers out on the trails. Like I said BEAUTIFUL trails!
Me & my faithful Sam
Karen and Pepper
I couldn't resist getting this photo........................Poor Heather on the little paint and Karen on her huge Pepper - LOL
So after going on the trails two different times, 4 hours later, and about 10 miles later we get back to the ranch and cool off and relax a little before heading out to the Ranch Rodeo in Cold Springs. Well Karen and I decide to drive into town to grab a bite to eat so we can give poor Heather and her family a chance to get ready for their rodeo.
Man is it great to be in aircondition and fill up on food! Now we are get ready to go to Ranch Rodeo to watch Heather and Hubby & Monie and her other half compete in the rodeo. BUT...........................our luck ran out!
Karen had followed me in her little car so if we needed to run into town we didn't have to unhook truck. What a great idea! we never left the ranch until time to eat and head to Rodeo. KAren started searching for her keys to leave and then ...........................yep you guessed it!!!! She had locked her keys in her car-LOL!!!!!
Not did she lock them in the car but the ignition!!!!! hehehehehehe
Thank goodness for great roadside assistance!!! All she had to do was make one call and they had someone come out! Unfortunately it took longer for them to get into the car than it did for them to get to us -LOL. The wrecker service guys had to get the manuel out to get in - LOL.....
Poor Karen was sooooooooooooooo embarassed ! Thats OK Karen - I got a great story out of it 
we now get to the Ranch Rodeo 
. It was great!!!!
Here are Heather & hubby, Monie and her other half getting ready for the Mugging Event.
Monie & Heather getting ready for the branding event......
This was the Sorting event..............
Monie is on the white horse.....she kicks butt! LOL
Go monie - get that calf!
I know this was a longer blog than usual but our day was such an awesome day!!! I had to share!!!!
