Before the great Founder Chronicles (last eight stories), Bonnie and I had won a $100 Grand in Reining.
Hard to believe, but true. And to think I never even reported it to the Internal Revenue Service! No, this is not a tax-evasion confession. They gave us a Nestle $100 Grand
chocolate-caramel-crunchy-stuff bar and a blue ribbon in Reining at the Rockie Mountain Saddle Club. It was the best candy bar I ever ate, and last time I checked, the government had yet to tax candy bar winnings.
Last weekend, Kalvin, aka: Kalvin the Krazed, won a gold medal in jumping! OK, OK, it was a first place in the Pile
-of-Poles class at the Northern Colorado Riding Club, and the medal was not solid gold, and it had a picture of a horse instead of Olympic rings. But I will always remember these horse show awards as being very cute and thoughtful. This is for all you organizers of all the open horse shows and horse show clubs in this country. Stop right now and give yourselves a pat on the back. Because of you, “horses” and “fun” remain synonymous.
