Countdown to Kentucky Round-Up
What's Kentucky Round-Up?
There are bits and there are bits
I was talking (well, on email) to our webmaster for Kentucky Round-Up. I was brain dead, it was late in the day, and I had 4 pictures to choose from, for the polo demonstration page... and I could not even make a decision! So I told him, "just pick your favorite, I'm 'decisioned out'"
Within an hour he responded back "How about choosing not to choose?" and a link. When I went to the page I saw all four pictures. No decision to make.
And I replied back to him, "Bits are cheap." (which meant the bits on a computer).
Bits for horses on the other hand are NOT cheap. And they seem to be getting more and more expensive. I enjoy seeing the working donkeys in third world countries being ridden with a piece of rope in their mouth. Maybe we could all go back to that.
Which then reminded me that Kentucky Round-Up did NOT have a display of bits. We have a display of various saddles, breeds, disciplines, colors... but not bits. Here it is two weeks out, do I want to add yet another thing to collect up, figure out how to display, have a volunteer to explain the bits, and then pack up and get back to the owners? NAH! It goes on my list for 2014.
The 2014 Kentucky Round-Up list continues to grow. Lots of good ideas come up, to which I have to say "Good idea for 2014". We are almost burned out here with what we have to do. It is going to be fun and successful... so I expect we can get more volunteers next year. But for this year... we have the program complete, NO MORE ADDITIONS!
Good news today, Breyer called, they'll be there with model horses.
We've got four tack booths but would love to have another one with just western gear. If you know of anyone....
We are up to over 50 booths now, and a few more to finalize.
Til tomorrow....
