7-10-10 Rycroft Alberta
Last night, Mike and Sheila were honored as Guests at the Rycroft Banquet. That was when they were told they were going to be the Grand Marshalls in today’s parade.
They got first place in the parade. Afterwards, they went and watched the horse pulling contest. The winning team (not the team shown) pulled 12,000 pounds. This evening is the Chuck Wagon races and Mike and Sheila are going to make the first lap. (more pictures later)
Hey we are keeping Pearl. We got shoes put on her and she is much better. She did have an abscess in her hoof. We rode into Solitude, Mistymoon, Grace and Lily lakes with her and she did great. Riley rode her all by herself. Mikey is the only one not riding his own horse these days. Both mine and Jason’s cheeks are chapped from all the riding. We had a great week with the horses. Jason got us lost one day but we made it back to camp before the neighboring campers sent the search party out for us. Just in time to save our marriage. He is stubborn. Thank god I bought him that GPS that he thinks doesn’t work. Anyhow, the horses are great now. We are healthy. Hope all is well with you. It looks like you are having the time of your lives. Hopefully, the weather will hold for you. Love you guys!
