boy and toys that have a pulse

Over the weekend we went to a horse pull, which is like a tractor pull but quieter and probably mellower. The whole thing involved a lot of hooking and unhooking horses, pulling something for 27 feet and then another team did the same thing, add more weight to the sled, and repeat until the last two teams remained.


This is a wind tossed Nana and her boy, they spent most of the day in this sled, no matter where it was parked.
It got exciting a few times, once when a horse actually sat down, and another time when a stud horse got all bothered and tangled up in the gear, or tack or whatever it is called. Other than that it was a blink and you miss it kind of event.

Oh, and our dear Untle Pencer's horses won the whole thing. But we knew that was going to happen cause he is our favorite and he has the best horses of anyone around. If he didn't we wouldn't hang out with him.

The snappy trophy gold they got:
We felt like we were in the cool club, being friends with such champion horses and all.
This is the warm up lap...The children added extra weight. We are pretty sure that is why they won.
