Oklahoma

PHOTO UPDATE:
I had a very nice visit to Oklahoma. My son Keegan and his wife Nicky took me to some wonderful places. My granddaughter, Amelia, is so sweet and has a super sense of humor. I wish they lived closer. Keegan is a Tech.Sgt in the US Air force.

Here are some photos of my trip.

Some longhorn cattle.



Bison, at home on the range.



We stopped by a large army base called Fort Sill where they still use horses.

When I saw this sign I had to laugh because my horses are pets and I've always hand fed treats with no problems. After meeting these stuck up army horses I'm even a bigger believer in hand feeding.







They leave all the horses halters and lead ropes on the fence where the horses can get tangled in them. ????





The horses were all business like, sporting buzz cuts (even their forelocks whacked off) and their name, rank and serial number (well just their number really) branded on their necks. Same side as our Mustangs.



When I saw my horses again, I told them they never had to worry about being drafted into the army because they were just a bunch of useless, fun loving, carrot addicts and the army wouldn't want them.

The buildings on the Fort were made from stone and were beautiful.



Most of the trees on the Fort were very lovely Post Oaks.





We visited the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. OKC also happens to be the new home of the Seattle Supersonics..Grrr.





It's a very interesting place. I enjoyed looking at all the old saddles and bridles that were on display.

I got home at 1am and the first thing I did was to say hello to my three horses, who all pretended to be very hungry.
