Wild Wild West

This was a crazy western weekend!

It started Friday with a pony play date with our friends from Stroller Strides.  The kids all had fun with flame.  We hooked him up and took turns going for a ride.

 

We took a trail ride to Vail Lake with some friends.  The photo above is of  Pat Ommert and Chris.  Pat owns the property where we live. Her late husband, Dr. Will Ommert ran his veterinary practice out of the hospital that Chris now has. The woman is amazing.  She is in her 80’s and still goes riding almost everyday.  The 3 hour trail ride was no big deal for her.  She also gave us her beautiful gray horse, Smokey, who you see above.  A very kind gesture from an incredible horsewoman.  Chris and I can now go on rides together on Smokey and Maverick:)  This trail is right by where we live.  We can’t wait to do it again! YEEEEHAW

 

  A local trail group, Rancho California Horseman, dedicated the Valley to Vail Trail in Mrs. Ommert’s name.  Remember how I said she was an incredible horsewoman….check her out….

And then we had the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) on Friday and Saturday night.  I am so proud of Chris and the veterinary practice he has built. He is working on many of the bucking bulls in the area and was asked to be the vet for this event…pretty cool:)  Rafael, the most AMAZING assistant came along on Friday night. We got to see a few of the bulls that they work on buck on Friday.  What a show! 

Sunday was Teagan’s Birthday Party.  It was a cowgirl party for sure:)  Yes….that’s a baby zebra they are feeding!

Having just went to the PBR Abby had a BLAST on the mechanical bull.  Ride um cowgirl…..

Jocelyn had fun playing with the rope.   Teagan LOVES Baby Jocelyn!   

Don’t worry….even after all the cowgirl events of the weekend Abby transformed into Princess Cowgirl “Tinkerbelle”
