Radar and the Rodeo

so we have a new store in town.... Big R. along with the grand opening they had the worlds largest horse. Radar is his name. this picture does not do justice to how big he is. he is a Belgian Draft Horse. Radar stands 6'7.5" at the withers (if you know my hubby he is 6'7")just so you know the withers are at the top of the shoulder where the neck joins the body. The ‘lump’ seen on many horses is the top of the spiny process of the tallest thoracic vertebrae. This part of the vertebrae is quite high on some horses and shallow on others. this big boy drinks 20 gl. of water daily.

on to the rodeo......


this pic is of the wheel barrel races. you can see that Zettie was having a blast along with Rozella and her friend Chesna.




Rozella was not to sure this time about riding the horse, as you can see below William was loving it. by the way this horse was of regular size. ;)
