This week has been such a crazy week. Utah isn't supposed to get tornado's. Well take a look at the second picture. That used to be my hay barn behind Herc and I. You can see it in some of the other pictures here on the blog. We got hit pretty hard on Tuesday night with a small tornado. Luckily Herc was unharmed and actually seemed to be the most calm of the horses around him and seemed to be trying to reassure them that everything would be ok.


Today we held a Meet & Greet for Hercules. Around 80 people showed up to meet Herc in person and he was very impressed and definitely was on his best behavior. He took time out of his busy schedule to pose for pictures and knowing him he also was more than willing to take the time to eat the many morsels of food offered to him from his adoring fans.
I rode Herc around for a while to show everyone what we are able to do to this point. Then we had a great BBq with so much food. Thank you to my two sons (Roy and Nathan) and my brother Troy for keeping the hamburgers coming. A co-worker brought out his corn roaster and we had fresh roasted corn, cowboy beans and to top it all off we had dutch over chocolate raspberry cake and peach cobbler for desert.
My daughter Rissa put together a slide show for everyone to watch so that those that had not been able to follow the blog could see the progress from beginning to now. Everyone really enjoyed that.
We also had a silent auction and raffle going. It was a night that I will not soon forget.
I want to thank everyone that donated and those that worked behind the scenes to make such a successful evening. I love you all so much and couldn’t have done this without the support of each one of you. Oh yes, Hercules thinks your all pretty cool too and is more than happy to give each of you a kiss.
