a long long time ago it seems, gary and i took henry to the storybook farms cowboy round-up. it was a whopping low thirty something degrees ... freezing in alabama ... but lots of fun. there were games, horses to pet and see, dinner for the cowpokes, "calf" roping, stick horse races, a blacksmith, and a campfire. it was so cold I did not take the old camera - just used the phone. henry had a great time - he didn't mind the cold. he did mind the one horse that snorted though - wasn't a big fan. here he is below with corduroy, of whom he was a fan.
and the video above is of the stick horse races ... henry was great about bringing up the rear each time {they raced about five times}. for you out of towners, storybook farms is a local, non-profit horse farm that serves children with disabilities and/or illnesses. all of their horses and paddocks are named after literary characters ... and they are a fantastic organization. here's the link if you want to take a peek!http://www.hopeonhorseback.org/
