Longhorns and Cowboys, Dewey, Oklahoma


Dewey had their Western Heritage Parade and Wild West Show last weekend. 
I thought this little team of donkeys and wagon were adorable!

Opps, they were getting a little out of hand .....


and those horns were longer than most that you see....



especially since we were at eye level...

  3. Great photos KT.

    Is that a real horse/rider on top of the truck ???

    The horses are sooo well behaved. Not sure my old girl would let me carry a huge waving banner/flag whilst 'on board' :o)

  4. Yes Sue that is a real hors and rider on the top of the trailer! It is a family rodeo act and this was the son Lynn. I added a link to it if you want to see their website. It is interesting. They do all sorts of amazing things. They work with buffalo also in their act.

  7. love this! And yes, those horns were what we call "stinkin' long!

    I think its great that they still carry tradition with horses and cattle; liability issues are making it nearly impossible up in the great lakes region.

    Thanks for taking these!
