Kathy is a friend of mine who has appeared on this blog in the past. She was monitoring the barrel race. I adore Kathy. She is a Texas True. I love to hear her talk horse. She uses a different lingo than I do since she is a western rider, but I still love to hear her talk horse. She is a barrel racer, and her daddy, who is now 85, taught her a lot of what she knows about horses. We got our border collie cross, Gyp, from her as a pup. Gyp is the same age as Kathy's daughter, Katlin, who is 12. Kathy told me how Gyp's mother still helps Kathy's daddy round up cattle in a 300 acre pasture. Kathy is a strong Christian, and she and her husband, Rusty, have done ministry on the rodeo circuit.
