Day 29, July 12

Saturday morning early we loaded Knight and Solomon and headed North for a Cowboy for Christs clinic near Kirksville, MO. I was working with a colt to start with, so I just tied Knight to the fence where all the commotion would be going on. I saddled Solomon and was going to use him to start the two year old filly. I worked with the filly for probably 30 minutes and had just saddled her and was allowing her to work through whatever she needed to do to get comfortable with the saddle. Then a big cloud came and it rained hard enough we had to quit. We all then loaded our horses and headed off for an indoor arena that was about fifteen miles away where we started up again. I left Knight on the trailer while I finished working with the filly. Then I worked with some people and their horses which took up most of the afternoon. After we had finished I took Knight from the trailer and brought him into the barn for a drink and some hay. It was getting late so we just loaded up and headed back home about a 3 hour drive. When we were 4 miles from home, we had a blow out on the trailer. Thank God we were this close to home. I was able to get ahold of Mike Kannagh and he brought his trailer up and got the horses and brought them home for me. I unhooked the trailer and we came home and called it a night. Knight handled the long trip and day very well.
