Buddy the Cavalry Pony! *pic heavy!*

Last weekend I went down to Santa Fe, NM to partake in a civil war reenactment that is held down there. And I dragged my "pony" along with me


Once again, he was SUPER!! Didn't care about a thing, crowds, gunfire, cannon fire, tents, water, bridges, yep, he was pretty darn good!

My dad and our exchange student showed up on Saturday and so they took lots of photos of me, this one is by far my favorite


Playing in the water


And me and Katie (luckydragon) stopping to let the kids pet the horses. Yep, you get lots of requests at these things to come pet the horses


Me, Katie, and our Corporal (on the left) and Commanding Officer (right) went down to support the Confederate Cause at the debate That was fun!


And then Buddy just ate up the battles, he LOVED getting to go galloping down the roads and hauling butt. He had the charge forward, stop, fire, and charge back routine down pat




I even shot a guy with an empty gun!! LOL That was FUNNY! We were up against this group of Union infantry, and they kept yelling at us to shoot this one guy in their group (I guess he really wanted to die LOL). Well, nobody would shoot him, and finally he comes walking towards us as we start to take off and pull back across the field (cuz our infantry was... um.... pretty much all dead at that point). Well, I somehow ended up last, and they are yelling at me to shoot him, but I don't have any rounds in my gun, so I'm yelling back "I've only got an empty gun!" They yell back "Just shoot him!" So I aim my gun and yell "BANG!!" And the guy grabs his chest like he's been shot and falls face first into the ground. Yep, I think that's a first!!!

It was a lot of fun! I trust Buddy SOOOO much more now! Me and Katie pretty much rode all day, and when we weren't tacked up, we'd just throw the rope around their necks and take off bareback, riding all around the hills and stuff. It was pretty cool! I'd never ridden Buddy with just a halter before!

Yep, Buddy did good, I'll make a top notch cavalry pony of him yet! He sure looks handsome in a cav saddle if I do say so myself

Eww, moving furniture? That doesn't sound fun! I was hoping you could come, bummer! Ah well, maybe next year you can come to something... or, you could come up middle of next month to Fort Garland for the 150th *hint hint* Not a battle, but it's still gonna be pretty cool!
