Sam Houston Raceway!

 

 When we first got to Texas we herd that the horse races where a pretty popular thing. We bought tickets on Groupon for 4 tickets for $12 it was awesome!! We took our friends Ashton and Ryan on a double date! it was so fun we were right there up close during all of the races yelling and cheering our hourse on!

I Think its funny/ sad because I love horses so much, but my husband is allergic to them. The raceway has all kinds of history and fake statues of horses..so when Jonny walked up to the statue he said, " Now this is my favorite kind of horse!" He just had to take a picture with it.

Now with races there is always a little betting going on, and Jonny and I wanted to test our luck!!! We set a limit of $20 for all 10 races and when its gone, its gone.... Well Jonny got really, really into it betting here and there winning some and losing some, around half way it happened. Jonny looked at the paper and just KNEW that #1 horse was going to win, so he jumped up and yelled, " ITS A SURE THING BABY" and ran away to bet. The thing was he ran away before he actually saw the horse before the race. Well that horse had a limp, he was defiantly not going to win. Jonny came back and told me that he bet the remanding money on the "Sure thing horse." This is a video of what happened!!!! 

 

Listen to the guy at the very end, "Dead Last" 

 

Life On The Ranch

Ever since we arrived in Texas I have been dieing to go ridding! Well we are in lucky because my sister in law Kye has 4 horses. We all went up to Kye's parents ranch and we spent the day ridding, fishing on the lake and just haven fun! I was a little bummed because both David and Jonny caught a fish, but all I got was my darn bait stolen!!!!  Even with me not catching a fish, it was so nice to just relax and take it easy, having really nothing to do in the middle of nowhere! Yes, Jonny is allergic to horses, but he was fine we pumped him full of allergy medication and it worked like a charm. We stayed the night and listenened to the coyotes howl and the dogs bark all night...

Sonny was the horse that I rode, he was also the first horse that Kye had. Sonny was raised by dogs in a way so he does a lot of tricks. You can do anything to this horse and he will be ok with it! Kye showed me how to do this, and I thought it was awesome !!!
