Amarillo is four hours away, so is Denver. Colorado Springs is about three and a half.

So one hurdle down, FG. I'll even come pick you up at the airport if you just want to come and watch this year and drive with you to FW ever day for the show. It sounds like fun. <BR/>We have a queen-sized bed in the guest room and we'll put your name on it.

For $200 I could buy a mustang from the local "rescue"... but they've been "training" them and, well, I don't agree with their methods. I'd rather hop in a round pen with a horse that thinks I want to kill it and eat it, than try to fix some of the problems I'm foreseeing from the "training" they're doing. <BR/FarmGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109427921448753169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-27392118736313587932008-07-09T13:20:00.000-06:002008-07-09T13:20:00.000-06:00I read more about it, and the average horse sold f...I read more about it, and the average horse sold for just over 3K.... that means that half sold for less. Another factor is that there will be 200 horses this year instead of 75(?) the year before. Should help keep the prices down. <BR/><BR/>I think this was a great idea on behalf of the BLM.
