Road To The Horse Kentucky

Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington

was our vacation this last week

I learned and laughed and talked to 

cowboys and cowgirls and horse lovers

and saw Jonathon Field,  plus 4 other horsetrainers

take a wild horse from the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas and ride them 3 days later

I saw these wild horses race into the arena and

4 of them were chose by each trainer

they had less than 3 days (4 - 6 hours of horsemanship skills and

communicating with their horse so they can ride in the finale)

so random are these pics as I get excited and

attentionally challenged with so many photos to upload

so here are the best ones.....

Dan Steers from Austrailia

 the remudas from the four sixes ranch in texas running into the arena, it was highly emotional

and charged with excitement!
