Drill Team...

We rode our Curlies in a horseback drill team for many years riding in parades and opening for shows and rodeos. My horse Ghost Wind absolutely loves attention and upon seeing a camera he will hold a pose for as long as he thinks you are looking at him. Anyway, we performed our routines to music and Ghost Wind sure loved the beat of the music. He would time his movements with it and it was just like he was dancing. All of the horses loved being a part of the Drill Team and Ghost Wind just soaked up all of the attention he could get. The local newspaper would frequently be at the shows and rodeos getting pictures and of course Ghost Wind would be posing every chance he got.

At one of the rodeos my little sister and her horse got to hold the American flag for the National Anthem and throughout the entire song her horse was urinating. We did our best to muffle our laughter but it was hard and her face was as red as the flag. She wanted to go hide as soon as it was over.
