Heritage Days Parade & Pony Rides

The pictures will tell the story.

The emergency repair. Actually Karin rode Ribbon down to the start with baling twine holding her surcingle on, her girth broke at the practice last night.

Thankfully Crystal Baker ran it to Fred's shoe repair and got it fixed in time for the start of the parade.

Ribbon was a big hit in all ways. She was so impressive as she would side pass from one side of the road to the other. All eyes were on her instead of the beautiful Friesians!

The vaulting show after the parade was great, an audience that had not ever heard of vaulting and of course they were wow'd.

The rest of the vaulting pictures have been placed on facebook, feel free to share them. Then came the cotton candy and pony rides.

The ponies were taken home around 4:30pm, we felt they had worked hard enough in the heat. By 7:30pm the cotton candy machine started shorting out the electrical box. We thought that was probably a sign to quit. Karin, Mark and Rhoda helped load everything in the truck and the truck was parked in the arena, too tired to unload it tonight.
