I haven't updated in awhile - we have been so busy and it's so much easier to post to Facebook. We have a new longhorn steer named Ranger, who will be pulling my little baby wagon. I have a new horse Commanche Moon. He's a seasoned parade horse who likes to prance. He's terrified of the wagon, so weve been tying him to the wagon and taking the whole dog and pony show into town. Lots of picture taking and I guess we're in one of the newspapers.
Ron has a gig with an old west show in September - indians calvary-shooting - should be interesting. If you can, check Facebook for more current updates.
Our wagon with 4 up sponsored by The Frontier Times Museum. Our outrider was Jeannie Beauxbennes. It was freezing! After we put away the horses, we went back uptown and joined the wild Bandera people in a Gumbo tasting and jellow shots (a first for both of us). Continue reading...
Well, we're having alot of fun decorating the Rusty Cowboy Wagon - my new mobile cowboy store in Bandera. We have dusty sitting up there on the wagon - now I know everyone is going to want a photo opp with him! Putting on cowhide seats and such and going to load it up with my cowgirl art, exotic purses and my signature hats.
Next, we see Wes Hatch and his mules stopping by yesterday to visit. He and Ron are going on a trail ride with their wagons this weekend. I'm staying home with the goat... Continue reading...
We've been coveting this wagon since we moved here and it worked out, we are now the new owners of this adorable mini covered wagon. I can't wait to gypsy it up and put cowhide seats on it. Now, which horse is going to pull it!
Well, it started out as "weight management" for Blanco Billy Diagoatah McGilvrey Parker. He looks like hes pregnant. He's a natural at pulling and of course, having the wagon master Ron as a teacher doesnt hurt! Of course, he likes to act up with me, but he's perfect with Ron. I need tennis balls for those horns before I get hurt. Ahhh - isnt he cute?
While driving the stagecoach in the Veterans day parade, Ron was dressed in all his fringed regalia with this old funky hat that I cherish. Intriqued, an artist in Bandera took a picture of Ron and about a week later, called us to tell us she had done a portrait in pastels and wanted us to see it. We were amazed, so had to buy it. This is a copy - the original is getting framed right now. We will be selling signed copies to pay for the original - if anyone is interested.
My newest project - custom made saddle horn bags! Too fancy for the guys, but I think the cowgirls will love them.
Well, were' pretty much done for the season except for the Xmas parade and our charity covered wagon ride for the Helping Hand thrift store here in Bandera!
Yet another parade - Bandera is parade central! Ron let me hold the team for awhile, but there he is in all his fringed regalia. It was also the opening of Jeannie Parkers Frontier Town, which I didn't get pics of because our brakes disengaged from the coach and we had to get it home. There is Ron in all his fringed regalia!
Bandera was packed and all the street performers were out including us!
Generally, I don't take pictures of our clients with the stagecoach and we certainly don't let anyone ride shotgun, but in this case, I had to make an exception! Aaron and his dad were here hunting and Aaron is just the coolest, real deal cowboy and just looked every bit the "shotgun rider" part, so had to get a picture this time! Aaron has wagons and mules and three little cowgirls and his dad is very proud! Isn't this ...
