Gotta Love the horses!

There are many horses boarded here, some real pretty ones and some are so friendly. One Palomino coloured one always comes to the fence looking for some petting, which of course we have been doing each time we walk the dogs. Today we decided we should take him a carrot, well did he love that, Woody fed him large pieces which he munched up quickly, he is a nice well behaved horse and of course wanted more. On our way back he followed us along his fence and kept looking at us, we knew what he was asking but he will have to wait until our next walk this evening. Horses are such beautiful animals and if treated well are great companions as well as gentle, one of God’s marvellous creations in our mind. Muffin is still a little afraid of these strange large creatures, she stands back at the end of her leash but does not bark at them anymore, Cookie can take them or leave them, just another animal to her.

Woody went back out to take some pictures of the horse and he came running!

Okay here I am, where is my carrot!!

I will smile for ya!

Isn't he pretty with his mane blowing.

Lady who owns these horses told Woody that her 3 year old grandson can ride this horse no problem.

Every day here we see people out looking after their horses, some actually live here at the park. Sadly some horses are not well attended and were reported. This lady said that there is 0 tolerance for not looking after animals in this area, that is good news! Pueblo area was at one time known as the 'Saddle-Making capital of the World' as well as the steel capital of the USA until the bottom fell out of the steel industry in the 1980's.

Pueblo's newest event is the Wild West Fest sponsored by the Professional Bull Riders. It will be held in Pueblo during the spring and the main event will be a PBR rodeo held at the state fair events center and shown all over the world. Also, Pueblo is home to the PBR team finals held at the state fair events center during the Colorado state fair and shown all over the world. In 2008 the PBR moved their corporate headquarters to Pueblo. Just some information regarding Pueblo, it has an interesting history as most places in North America do!
