Wow, what a day. We have traveled, Ildivo and I. The day started out with a really good bath for the once " wildone". He received a real good scrubbing because he had a appointment to go meet Mark Menezes, one of our very generous sponsors. I wanted a picture of Mark and Ildivo so we just loaded up and headed to Lockwood. We parked amongst the trucks, trailers, etc. and unloaded. It's a really busy place. Menezes Bros. is the place where we get all of our feed, alfalfa cubes, etc. They make the cubes right there. It's a huge facility with alot going on and their cubes are shipped all over. When the price of hay started going down, Mark lowered the prices of his hay and cubes and passed his savings off to all of us!!!!I don't know any other business who has done that. Thank you Mark. Check out Mark's picture with Ildivo and his logo on the side of my trailer.
From Menezes cubing facility, we traveled to Ona's place. She and Ildivo are best friends as you can see in the picture. I unloaded him, and off we went, with Ona and Gabe, ( her horse) and headed to the neighbors who very generously offered me the use of their 2 roping steers to introduce my Mustang to. I had expected that he would take one look at them and RUN!!!!!!!NOT So. He was so curious and wanted to see what those two things were. From there I was able to follow them around, hold them in a corner, and half way take them down the fence. He acted like a little wannabe cutter.
We will be going back. It was really good for Ildivo, it cleared his little overworked brain.
Overall, everything is falling into place. I have 10 days to go. Terri and Walker will be filming on Tues, and yes, they will film us working a cow! It will air on Thurs. Walker is coming over this evening to get a night shot of Ildivo in his pen with the full moon!!!
We are having another rummage sale tomorrow, 9-05-09.

One of the Oregon wranglers told me he's rarely seen a mustang who won't at least watch a cow. Said not all of them will hook on, but the great majority will at least watch. Both Sandy and Steve Holt! have surprised many a quarter horse owner, lol.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Ildivo is getting a lot of great exposure. Will someone be blogging updates from Forth Worth so we can stay abreast of what's happening?
Good luck on the sale tomorrow!
Tracey, yes, we will be blogging along the way! Thank you for looking at our posts and responding. I love the little horse. S
