If I didn’t already have a committment for today, I can tell you what I would be doing. I would be going to the Working Mountain Horse Competition. The Wild Deuce Girls ride out in the west country all summer and then bring their horses who have a summer full of experience to the competition and sale. Actually folks can bring their own horses and compete in the Friday competition. There is another whole competition on Saturday for just horses that are going in the sale. Then the sale on Sunday.
