I know a lot of you are like me, “not very horsey.” But you work at a show like the World Championship Appaloosa Show and you can get pretty horsey real fast. How many of you know what a reining competition is? Quick show of hands. That’s what I thought. So watch this video clip and then you’ll have an …
Shining Up a Storm
If you need your boots shined at the World Show then “Storming” Norman Miller is your man. I got mine done earlier today and had a little chat with the shine king. He says he’s been doing this for the ApHC for at least 15 years and about 53 years all together locally. I asked him how many shines he’s …

Barry Corbin Talks About Trail End
You never know who you’re going to run into when you’re out doing some agriblogging. For example, I got to sit down with actor Barry Corbin yesterday at the World Championship Appaloosa Show.

AQHA Test Rides
Combines, tractors and 4-wheelers aren’t the only thing you can test drive here at the Farm Progress Show. You can also test drive a quarter horse thanks to the American Quarter Horse Association. I didn’t get to watch for long but it looked pretty sedate to me. No racing going on out here today. Just test rides like these and …
Wrapping Up The Appaloosa National Show
After a few days at the National Appaloosa Horse Show I sure know a lot more than I did about showing horses but I also realize how little I know. I was very impressed with the people I met in Oklahoma City and think that a horse show is a great event for families. I wasn’t there for the first …
Adios From The Horse Show
It’s time for the agriblogger to hit the road again and head on home. The National Appaloosa Horse Show has been a lot of fun and a real educational experience. Like this rope race. I’ve never seen one before. It’s a real highlight event here for participants. I want to thank Steve Taylor and the Appaloosa Horse Club for sponsoring …
