The horses certainly did look pretty much "untouched". The 3 trainers did a great job - watch Ken McNabb every Sunday morning on RFD tv. Really enjoy his show & how well he works with the horses. The picture of his kids with their friends was really priceless. Glad you had the opportunity to be there. Maggie Went to the website for Road to the Horse -

What an interesting story (about #10 - does he have a name??)...it's the kind of stuff I could read about or listen to for hours. The stories behind the horses...especially when it is one where the human gave the horse a chance. Too bad we're not neighbors, I would bother you with my company and a cup of tea and listen to all the stories you have(are)collecting. It is rainy and very windy here - horses are jumpy. Mud everywhere...but next week is supposed to be sunny and beautiful! The geese are coming back, heard a red-tailed hawk the other day (they nest in our back field every year - watched two siblings learn to fly from telephone pole to tree top one summer as they cried out to Momma). Wonderful sounds of Spring. Blessings, Jane OOOHHH, I would love to hear Craig’s answers to your questions!!

Kathleen says that #1 and #2 were actually just sparring/playing in that photo. But on Wednesday when they brought the remuda into the arena for the first time (we were there setting up) #10 took on everybody, biting, kicking, chasing... then the rest of the week he stayed outside the herd because he was a last minute replacement when there was an accident with the original #10. 1-9 had spent 9 months together in a pasture of their own. The new #10 was introduced at the last minute, thus the exclusion. #10 also had diarrhea Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (probably from nerves). Did not see any on Saturday or Sunday when the event was actually going on. As I said in the post: Good for Craig for teaching us all that there's always another way to look at our horses. I hope to see Craig again sometime soon and ask him what he saw that I didn't. That's how we learn :) #10 is the white/palomino to the right of the rearing #1.

Doesn't if figure that the one nobody thought would be the best..turns out to be. Kinda reminds me of the way God works...always taking what, at first glance, doesn't look like the best, and making it beautiful. Looks like Craig was able to see something in #10 others missed. Congratulations to them both. Sounds like it was a lot of fun, have to try and make it one day. The picture of Benji asleep is precious!! wow - he really is used to that kind of stuff.

My head would have been spinning- trying to watch all of the round pens at once! I hope Western Horseman or Equus covered the competition so I can read more about it. Horse #1 is absolutely gorgeous-you have great taste in animals (not to take anything from Kathleen of course!) Any chance you will ever make your way up to Calgary? Even though I am in my (late) 30's I still dream about meeting Benji! Glad to see that you three had a great time, Xtine :) What a great experience to behold three of the best horsemen start “raw” colts!

I let our Midwest Mustang and Burro Saddle Club know I got the extra book for the Club, and if they want to start reading and signing to let me know. Kathleen, you told me a neat story of people reading and signing the book, then passing it on...that is my plan for one of the books I got. Joe, I am the one from Mid Missouri and you mentioned you were from St. Louis...I think that is when we got in trouble from Kathleen because we were talking too much, and there were people in line. :-) Ha ha! When I finish the book, I will send you an e-mail! Hugs to all of you, and that includes the critters! Karen and Brian Hi Joe and Kathleen,
