Wild Mustangs!

I've got a bit of deviation from art this post.  I had hoped to post a complete art project showing beginning to end of a piece on canvas but my Studio time this past weekend was interrupted.
One of the things I did do was enjoy a few hours at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo.
This is a huge annual event in Fort Worth or Texas for that matter.  It has become an Anniversary outing for my husband and I as it always falls during our Anniversary which makes it nice also.
Anyway back to the Mustangs part of this post....

Have any of your watched on National Geographic channel the Mustang Millionaire show?  It's about cowboys & cowgirls that take a wild mustang and have 4 months to tame it, ride it, teach it show tricks etc.  It's absolutely fascinating that this can be done within such a short time.
This year we had hoped to watch the Mustang Magic finals that are a part of the FW Stock Show but getting there over an hour early left us standing in the hallway to the arena packed like beans with no more seats available.  We were so disappointed.  (Apparently everyone else has watched the show!)
Being acquainted with one of the contestants--

We had really hoped to watch this event.  It's already on next years calendar!  So if you like/love horses you might want to check out this link to these Finals from this past weekend, which gives you a small taste as to what they can train these horses to do.
