MR. TRUCK~~~~~ARE WE GOING TO GET ANY CONGRESS UPDATES THIS YEAR? I KNOW THAT THE PAST COUPLE YOU HAVE POSTED PICS OF THE "LATEST AND GREATEST" HAPPENINGS AND I WAS HOPEING THAT YOU COULD DO THE SAME THIS YEAR. I'VE REALLY ENJOYED LOOKING AT ALL OF THEM SINCE WE CAN NEVER BREAK AWAY AND GO UP THERE.

Thanks for thinking of me. I'm sorry, I enjoyed reporting from Congress, but am overbooked for fall. Too many cotton picken truck events that I have to go to. Got back from Montana, Toyota flew me to Yellowstone to play with the new 08 Land Crusiser, Ford invited me to Detroit this month, had to turn down some other SUV media launches. Then SEMA is the end of this month. 6 states in the last 2 months and my oldest granddaughter is in Westernaires this year, so I'm stretched kinda thin.
We're about to launch a new hitch this fall, just picked up a prototype trailer, so soon I'll have the skinny on a major event. Will try to get to NFR and do some reporting here from there. Thought I could fly to Congress for a few days, but this month is just too short. We have 6 horse expo's scheduled next year to have a booth at and I'll be a speaker at two of them. That's sounds scary.
Hope you are all taking advantage of the cheap horses going on now. With the US horse slaughter now in the black market, brood mare and weanlings are at bargain basement prices. I've heard it will take around 5 years for the prices to stabilize. I just hate seeing good registered stock going cheap. I didn't see it affect horse trailers last year, but this year it looks like all sales are off a little. Tack sales are cheaper too, even the stuff not made in China.
