Yes its so true. It really is a lifetime deal. This event actually scored extra for being in the spade and or using a reata to rope. Ya know I think so many folks have their ideas about horsemanship, particularly western horsemanship, from Hollywood westerns, and it just ain’t so. To give an example, Josie will just about run backwards literally off the weight of the reins. Not by pulling but literally by how I hold the reins and ask. All our horse stop and can STOP hard by us stopping to ride. Spudnik will stop so hard that he about lawn darts me and no pulling on the reins. Kinda different than the Duke coming to a stop with his horse’s head on upside down and i luv the Duke of course.

Amen from this congregation in Colorado!

Ya bet and we did for sure. Saturday night was even busier at the cafe:

That's because Dave Stamey always does a free concert right next door to the cafe Saturday night. This was his 6th year straight doing a free concert at the Skills:

We've seen Dave in concert many times and he never disappoints. It was a great time. So Saturday night during Dave's break there was a Calcutta auction for teams made up of the pros. So we ended up going in on a team with some friends. Funny thing then I find out that I will be judging the pros, oops. It worked out in the end as my team kinda had some problems (and this can happen any time when cattle are involved) and so me judging it wasn't a big deal cause they were kind of out it anyways. Here's a pic of me and the other judge with our scribes and office help judging the pros. I'm in the tan vest towards the center of the trailer.

So then we started packing up as this was the last deal. We had a little bit of time before we had to head over for the awards ceremony. Coolest part? Nichole won the Stockhorse Competition! This kinda a big deal:

Her buckle:

She also won the headwork class in the Stockhorse competition. She won a set of bridle conchos from our friend Casey Hoagg:

And she came in second in the roping class winning a set of rein chains:

And she also won a hatband for a third place in another roping deal.

She won the loot! Here's a pic of our friends too. I call this the Tehachapi Trio from left to right:

On the left with the Horsewright purse is our friend Tammy. She won the Novice StockHorse competition. Next is Kathleen. She won the Novice Bridle Horse Rodear Roping, Tyrin our friend that was a pro and he helped us all get ready for the competition. Finally Nichole winner of the Intermediate Stockhorse Competion. All three ladies are from Tehachapi.

So we got home from the show and it didn't take Nichole very long to get started on a belt for her buckle. This was the first buckle that she's won and that kind of a big deal:

With the pony (Josie) that made it happen.

And her loot:

So we've got some new knives to put on the website. We didn't have time before we left and so they should be on shortly:

Woolcarta

Wild Cherry:

A Paisano with bocote and Blackwood spacer:

Turkish walnut on a Gordo:

A Paisano with elk and jasper:

And more too.

Thanks for sharing the trip with us and congrats to Nichole. She really cleaned up!

Good deal David glad it showed. I know UPS is really backed up on international shipments, there’s a thread on it over on the Bladesmith side of this ourtfit. Great pics on that knife, it really is a striking set of sheephorn. I like your use of the sun Really brings out the texture.

Zieg, yes sir for sure.

Sacto, ya bet my friend! Thanks.
