Cowboy Gathering

Outside Mineral Wells, Texas the G-man & I

came upon these trail riders.

They are on their way to Fort Worth

to the stockyards for the 

Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering.

Visit this link.

There were about 50 wagons in the ride

and individuals on horseback as well.

It is a perfect day for a ride.

This group will arrive in Fort Worth

on Friday, October 21 for the gathering.

I'm not sure which would be more fun to do;

go to the gathering

or

be on the trail ride.

Now me, I'm thinking Trail Ride!

Join us in the Fort Worth Stockyards, National Historic District to celebrate the 21st edition of this premiere celebration of the West. Voted 'Best Gathering and Best Family Event by the readers of American Cowboy Magazine
