Our tiny little town does love to dress up!  We had our annual Christmas parade last Sunday night.  What a load of fun!!!  Folks dressed up their tractors and lawnmowers and just had a big time.

Jan (aka "Rose") brought over Betty the buggy mare and drove in the parade with my MIL.  I dressed up my mare and let a friend ride her so I could get pictures.  Hubby lit up his 1975 MF-165 and pulled a small "float" with some friends riding on it.  Our son, Logan, brought out his 1948 Farmall which he has restored.

Okay...on with the pix

More coming....

The parade started at 5:30pm, so it was beginning to get dark.  That's good for seeing the lights on the floats, but not so good for taking pictures.

Okay, that's all.

Too Cool!

My horse is "spotted."  "Paint" comes in cans.

Just pokin' a little fun.  I have nothing against APHA horses.  But Miss Tequila is a SSH through and through!  And yes, she is rather large...15.2hh.

Had some people come through here a few days ago hauling a horse from Oklahoma to Northern California.  Burned the transmission in their truck and needed somewhere to unload the pony for a couple of days.  I loaned them a corral and was amazed when they unloaded their horse.  He was an Irish Warmblood paint.  Not a whole lot of white, but beautiful blue eyes, 16- 1/2 hands and just barely two years old.  He was magnificent!!  He was put together so well that you didn't realize how big he was until you got up close. I am just over five feet tall, so you can imagine how huge he looked to me!  But he didn't move like a big horse.  He was as gracefully athletic an animal as I have ever seen.  I would need an elevator to get in the saddle!
