the GPS decided to get us lost (thank goodness we were super early) but in the process of getting lost we found a super cool looking place (which we later found out was the Bill Rice Ranch) that we decided to check out.
it turned out to be some kinda Christian summer kids camp and it had this cool little old-timey 'town' set up. we thought it was the perfect place for a photo shoot. we parked the truck, jumped out, and went to shooting. we had a blast and the pictures turned out super cool!
we then headed back to find the coliseum and found it and werent late at all. RTTH was beyond amazing. i was blown away by the talent of all 6 trainers. especially the australians. holy moly they were amazing. i had decided that i was going for AUS when we first got the tickets, but after seeing them work in person it totally confirmed it.
each clinician had a few minutes to kinda introduce themselves and show what they do. then it was on to picking the colt they were going to start and work with over the weekend. as soon as the herd came out i picked my favorite-- a pretty roan who had a lot of personality!!! and guess what?? dan james (one of the aussies) picked him to start. wooooot!
after they all had picked their colt, they began round 1 of the roundpen work. i was impressed with how much they each were able to accomplish with their horse in such a short period of time.
all 3 of us were super exhausted by the time we got to the room that night around 930. but we ate some supper and headed out for walmart to goof off (what else is there to do at midnight???) and we wanted to get some sharpies so we could get autographs the next day.
after heading back to the room, taking showers, and taking silly pictures on callies webcam, we all crashed into bed around 2.
