Texas Bound


Congratulation to Michael Butler and MX Wrangler who have been selected as finalists for ACTHA's America's Favorite Trail Horse reality show that will air in Sept. America will vote for their favorite trail horse! What an opportunity to show case what our Rocky Mountain Horses can do. There were approximately 1,000 horse/rider teams who went to audition and only the top 10% were selected. This week has been a flurry of activity for Mike and Wrangler. They have done everything from photo shoots to trail rides. They've crossed creeks and covered bridges. We've packed and packed but we are almost ready. Robert and Mike will be leaving early Friday morning heading to the Franklin Family Ranch in Blanco, TX. It is a 2,000 acre spread that has everything - even 15 varities of exotic animals! Should be interesting. The fellas will be stopping at Randy and Regina Jones's in Conwar, AR on Friday and travel on to Blanco on Sat. Filming will run Sunday through Thursday. Lisa Sidwell will be coming back next week to help Charlie ride - thank you Lisa! We also want to congratulate H.T. Derickson riding Blue on Black and Judy Brummer who rode Legendary Lady to qualify for the finals. Pray for a safe journey and good weather for our competitors! More info will be posted as it becomes available!
