Yesterday, we experienced intense heat, thunder, lightning, and a few raindrops. And we’re about to get going with similar today. The current weather and our national politics wear me out.
Right now and more cheery is the start of Central Oregon’s annual High Desert Classic horse jumping competition. Many gorgeous horse trailers are passing by, and I will stroll several times among the rows of stalls temporarily sheltering some of the most gorgeous, athletic animals.
Horses are herd animals. They bond with their “families,” and some stalls have a “horse buddy” with the horse. A co-stalled buddy might be a goat, chicken (roo or hen), or other types of critters able to soothe a competitive nature.
As usual, I will have my camera and capture some of the show’s impressive or simply cool elements.
This is one of my all-time favorite horse show images.
Dear Friends: We find ways to stay cool through an excess of heat. Diana
