#1 Cowpony

I don't have any pictures to prove it because I wasn't there but last Saturday Terry went to the Cow sorting  with The Tramp and won the money at the end!!!  He is a cow sorting monster, they say!!  This is really funny  because the week before we took both Paso's to just let them see cows and get used  to the idea and I know all those cowboys on quarter horses were thinking, "what are those people doing here with those dumb little gaited PONIES"?  Too funny!!!

Anyway, yesterday we saw our first rattlesnake!  EEEK, it was right next to the  trail and scared Al's horse rattling really loud.  Here is a picture of it under the bush. You can kind of see the black and white rattler but I wasn't getting any closer for the picture.

Today was our last ride here in Tucson and we saw about a dozen havalina from pretty close distance.  They looked like little black pot-bellied pigs but are considered large rodents here.  It is a beautiful day here in the 80's and we rode about 5-1/2 hours.   We are packing to leave in the morning heading for Apache Junction, then Kanab, UT to see Kim!
