went to a horse auction

[gritsar]

Very pretty. I'm avoiding the auctions here. My neighbor tells me that horses are going for under $100 here and I can't have one until maybe the end of next year.

The last sale barn I went too, horses for going so cheap, most under 100. some they couldnt even get a bid on, but chickens are still holding their price.............

It's hard to believe Ris Key is 25 years old .. wow. I was just thinking, when I first met him, I was pg with my first daughter -- who will be 18 in December ..

He was foaled in '84 .. just 3 years after I graduated high school ... A lifetime has passed since then.

A friend of mine in Texas has a daughter of Ris Key and she's the most athletic horse I've ever seen. Very, very cowey, so I bet your boy will be great with cattle. You're making me so jealous. I used to work cows all the time 'cause I married into a cattle family the first time. Then the creep I married left me. I didn't care about him after that, I just hated to leave his family!
Congratulations. Nice boy!
