W The SouthWest Chat


elcome to the January issue of SouthWest Horse Trader. The futurities are complete and after the ball drop, it’s Stock Show season. Did


you get your Fort Worth Livestock Show entries in by December 31? Have you already failed on those new resolutions for the new year! 2020 . . . it has a nice ring to it. Happy New Year! If you like to ride cross country, campfires,


cowboy vittles, story-telling, sleeping outside under the Texas stars and the camaraderie of folks like you that enjoy the simple life, the cowboy way, then saddle up and join us for four days in the leather. Experience what it must have been like in the early 1800s, trailblazing across the Texas land- scape. Here’s your chance! I recently had a chat with Kathy Freeman


after she sent me the above information regarding recruiting riders for the Texas 59th Annual Alamo Trail Ride that is held in conjunction with the San Antonio Livestock Show January 31 thru Febru- ary 5. If you are interested in learning more or signing up, visit them at Facebook.com/Alamo- TrailRide. We will continue to offer our $250 Full page


color or $150 Half Page color for our association and event members to have the opportunity to ad- vertise their events in a larger format at a budget price. We also post your ad in our website event calendar and on our Facebook page. Contact Roberta at roberta@swhorsetrader.com or call 713.562.8846 to reserve your space! w


If you missed the un-


veiling of the Buster Welch and King Ranch "Lil Peppy" at the Na- tional Cutting Horse As- sociation


Foundation


special event, look for it during your next trip to Ft Worth in it’s permanent location on Trail Drive under a live oak. This in- credible piece was created by sculptor Kelly Graham and certainly catches a glimpse of the man who played such a big part of making the sport what it is today. Also honored that same evening was Gala Nettles,


for her contributions to cutting and preservation of the sports history through her many books and articles. She is pic- tured here with husband and Hall of Fame Cutter Ronnie Nettles. w
