It Was Like Riding With The Governor




That is what Terry had to say about riding beside Daddy in the Christmas Parade. She said that it seemed like everyone on the sidewalk knew him and was calling out his name. Forty seven years ago he and I first rode in the Christmas parade together. He rode Flag, a highly charged thoroughbred, I rode Tonka, a welsh-hackney cross, and Momma rode Cracker Jack, a pinto mustang/Arabian.

This year he rode Medicine Dog, a BLM mare that we trained who now belongs to Ruthann. His mare is still a little green for parades but she will be ready for him to ride her in the next five or ten parades.
