1st Annual Ranch Rock Race 2009 - Contestants |
|||||||||||||||||||
A
few of us Lone Star Artists decided to head out to the Bunkhouse near
Marble Falls to have a fun and relaxing art retreat. However, because
I am not all that good at just doing one thing at a time, I decided we
should have a couple hours of fun! So I organized the 1st Annual Ranch
Rock Race. The idea was to have the jockeys come up with jockey colors
and use those to "color" their steed and the rock stick which
would be used in the 2nd furlong of a 3 furlong race. The contestant pose
below with their rocks and sticks, and I have a close-up of the steeds
and sticks to the right of the jockey's picture.

Dena chose to use the dried up , chawed clean, bleached out dog bone as her steed. HA! Like that sorry excuse for a steed even stood a chance! This is a BEFORE picture! Below is what she did with it! |

Dena Wenmohs, our Ranch Rock Wrangler, had corralled some steeds. She made us do a musical walk around the rocks. She sang "Ring around the rockies, a pocket full of pebbles, Rock on, rock on , we all get stoned!" A most marvelous rendition! When the terrible music stopped, we had to take our steed. I protested saying that I wanted to check my steed's confirmation, teeth and pedigree, but was shouted down. Geesh! I also protested the fact the the wrangler had not only wrangled rocks, but had wrangled up a rusty 2 inch washer, a chawed up, bleached out dog bone, and one slightly seasoned donkey bun. Eeks! |
