Mostly Horses

Showing Off!

If I pulled back on the rein and touched
her stomach with spurs, she would rear like
this.

Mushy. Mushy and Wishbone were the last
two horses used to deliver milk.
(Champaign). We gave them a home
in Quincy and used them in parades.
They drew restored milk wagons
decked with flags.
Rex. Rex was another horse
we used for publicity
purposes.
Prairie Princess. This filly and saddle was won
by 10 yr. old Larry Gabbert of
Camden, IL in 1954. (This is the
pony that threw me in Mt. Sterling)
Grooming Lady.
Oh No...here comes another cowboy!.
Yee-HAW. Actually it's a posed picture taken in Tulsa, OK, a few years ago. Got talked into sitting on stuffed bull and waving my arm like a REAL cowpoke. It was a blast and I am happy he didn't kick me (he had steel in his hoof! :-)
Rex. For you horsemen and ladies, Rex is "parked"a bit better in this old slide.
Joe McNeilly took this shot about 1968.
I loved riding!. After falling off Prairie Princess in Mt. Sterling, I attended "horsemanship" sessions with Roy Tweedt in Mt Sterling. Then I truly enjoyed riding!
