Cowgirls Part II

Ready, set -- button...   northern Vermont style cowgirls today.

After posing for a bit, we decided to remain in our cowgirl gear and try a few more tasks on the lawn.






You might notice we have tried new bits. Reverie is sporting a Tom Thumb with a copper roller.

Let's see if these contest girls can neck rein ....

Sweets and I are trying out a bosal for the first time,  for both of us.  The reins are not very authentic.. but -- the technique in using it was my "tip from a friend".




That huge tangle of yellow rope is our impersonation of a lariat looped around the horn of our saddle.

The two of us are deeply concentrating :)


For any of you who have watched the first Shrek --- the red cowboy boots made me feel like Lord Farquhar.. remember when they lowered him into his boots ? Even Sweets was unsure of those pointy toes.. she kept turning around to bite them.


I think I should have rung up the Texan Bluebell Angie for fashion advice -- do you tuck your jeans into the top or leave the jeans over ?

We schooled a bit with the neck reining on the lawn.

Then we headed down the road for more cowgirl foolery.

I'll add more adventures of the Vermont cowgirls in a later post -- for now.. enjoy -- Harold, we are expecting snow cover tonight.. the temps are dropping in the Green Mountains.

How do like Zoe's cowboy hat ?? These spurs are just for posing.. if Sweets wasn't fond of the red pointy toes she surely is not going to like these spurs.  I have them hanging as decoration on my barn wall.
