Dash needed some training for patience, so Ashley decided to pony with him. Ponying is when you have a horse follow you while you ride and hold the lead rope. Dash is young and still has spunk, so his patience wore thin fast. He tried to bite Lexus' tail and tossed his head a bit, but he calmed down soon enough.
Blacksburg Storefronts at Night.
On that same night I found the mannequins, I was stalking the storefronts of downtown. It was late, so the only people out were the Tech student night owls and party animals.
Mannequins.
A few weeks ago, I was wandering through town at night, and I came across this room full of mannequins. It's one of the most interesting and pleasant surprises I've come across in a while.
Rodeo: Max Meadows, VA.
Lowgap, NC.
The first rodeo of the 2013 National Barrel Horse Association season was held in North Carolina. It was a sunny day (my nose got sunburned). It was a combined rodeo, so a local North Carolina district was also running. In all, there were 96 riders in the Open Division. This class is open to everyone, any age. Ashley, the rider I'm following this season, placed 3rd in the 3rd Division.
