Thanks everyone for the posts Jamie, Dorothy, Smja, Haldox, Jacey and Welshjane, Dianemarie, Jen and Tashia.
Welshjane, to your question. The Bloomsday Race is in Spokane, state of Washington. I think the name comes form the flowers from Rododendrons blooming in the Spring, I think. They have lots going on during Bloomsday, parades etc. and the race.
It is a 12 kilometer race but pretty easy, only a couple of hills. It is always on the first Sunday in May. There are usually around 50 to 60,000 people running or walking it. In the front there are the professionals who are in it for money. We, the regular people follow, from runners to at the end, people with strollers and the rest of the slower crowd.
I know I won't be having my fastest time this year, but I just want to finish it. A friend of mine is going to walk with me, which is very nice of her.
This will be my 29th time to enter it. It is the only race I go to every year.
About the western saddle, I have never sat in an English saddle. My daughter owned one once, but I never tried it. Ilike that horn to hang on to. :biggrin:
I have been thinking of getting an Aussie saddle for Cody as they are lighter. I have a hard time putting his western saddle on him. It is 31 pounds and he is tall. My arab, Silver, has a western saddle with an arab tree. It is a lot lighter.
Tashia, yes I have tried to get on my mustang. You can see a picture I posted earlier this week. I think it's a couple of pages ago.
Thanks and take care everyone.
Happy Easter :ccheers: (Couldn't find a better icon for Easter )
