I got a new printer/scanner/copier for Christmas. I had one but it stopped working and I never really scanned many pictures with it. I thought I might try to do a little better with this one. And, since this is a farm/ranch/horse blog what better way to start than with some vintage horse show pictures.
How about a vintage horse show line up from 1979. Our judging team wanted to raise some money to go to contest in the midwest so we put on a horse show and raised enough to take all of us out there on a 5 day trip in the back of a pickup truck (with a shell top).
We had a great turn out and I was able to show along with helping with the show.
Yes, that's me and Hot Toddy in first place. I had a sprained ankle at the time and wasn't able to put my foot in the stirrup.
Hot Toddy was my sister's horse that I ended up showing for several years. He was 1/2 app and 1/2 Thoroughbred but I got asked endlessly if he was an Arabian or Quarter Horse. We always thought he was lazy because he would trip, stumble, drag his feet and fall sometimes but when I got into Vet school I found out he was actually a wobbler. It did make for a nice western pleasure horse though.
I really enjoy all the pics you share here and appreciate your visiting my blog as well. The scanner sure has been wonderful for retrieving old pics for us bloggers. I just started using mine on my last post when I couldn't find digital shots I wanted. The idea of a pet post is great ~ your critters are all adorable but I must admit that Emma's headshot stole my heart!

Great to be able to scan those pic, the old photos fade so much, nice to keep them as clear as possible
