Your tour of the Oklahoma State Fair Grounds


The warm, sunny weather continued today as Peanut settled into her stall in Barn 8.

,
We even had the opportunity to ride outside....in t-shirts! Notice the red dirt?


SUPERSTAR SIGHTING! There's Peanut in her sexy leopard print slinky checking out her new surroundings.


Here we are riding in the Adequan arena where we will show *gulp tomorrow!







Here is one of the warm up rings.





And this is the Coliseum arena where the Futurity go rounds are being held until the finals next weekend.






The bar...




Almost looks like a hockey arena doesn't it?




This is a pretty neat trailer. It hosts some of the prominant equine health care specialists and equipment. Almost anything that can be done in a vets office can be done in this trailer.






Here's the warm up ring outide of the championship arena. The major sponsors and leaders of the reining horse industry are stalled around the warm up ring.

















And you thought they went crazy with stall decorations at Congress? Check some of these out...







Hey girls who attended the tack makeover: remember the dvd we watched advertising the ranch? This was their stall set up.



A considerable part of the farm, stallion and trainers promotion is the freebies they offer to passersby. Coffee and bottled water with the farm name or stallions name we quite popular. Candy, keychains, twine cutters, tire pressure guages... all personalized and set out to encourage people to come over and have a look.



Here is the huge wall of results (printed in size 10 font...seriously?).



Trailer sales



And finally the prizes for the winners: a saddle, vest, bronze trophy, belt buckle, ring, ribbon...what else could you want? Oh yeah, a trailer?




That's all for now, tomorrow is the big day! Time has flown by, I hope to give everyone a full update next week. See you soon! GO PEANUT!
