WHAT's THE CHATTER?
The CHATTER certainly is getting louder in the Sacramento area. With less than three
weeks to go for the Sierra Stampede, the excitement is building. The response is
almost over-powering. In the meantime, we have had the pleasure of being invited to
"The Summer Party" at Bruce and George's of the Double BRanch, our great host for the
Hoedown held in May. It was great to see so many there to enjoy the day and all the
fireworks. We were invited to sell tickets for the rodeo, and if all those bodies show up,
we are going to have some fun! The Freewheelers also gave us a glimpse of what to
expect when they bring their vintage cars to show at the rodeo. We also had a great
chapter meeting at Lin's, which lasted about 15 minutes, long enough to elect officers for
the next year. The remaining 12 hours the chapter had a chance to experience a lot of
horse activity.
Some got to learn to lunge a horse and David did a very good
demonstration on how different bits affect the mouth and head position and moving a
horse with your body position and legs. David also gave some basic riding instructions as
he rode with some of the riders. Some members just enjoyed riding as Lin had provided
two horses and David made his available. Lin's new colt, "Rib-1", probably had the most
fun as every spent some time brushing him. We also had a great time with Duck Herding
with a first go and then Lin's demo on animal handling. What a difference! A good thing
for us rodeo folk to know in dealing with the animals. We also had Goat Dressing under
the lights, where we learned not to hold the goat by his feet (ask Marshall). Both events
had 5 teams competing. Finally Lin got to go to bed as the last happy camper left at 10:30
p.m. So if the length of time they stayed is any indicator of enjoyment I guess we all had
fun. AND of course, the hosts were perfect, and the facilities were impeccable.
