Rogan is our little redneck. You have seen the
photos and
posts of him in his boots, even his boots with his shorts.
Rogs and I were driving through town the other day and we noticed a lot of horse trailers heading downtown toward the fairgrounds. Rogan was craning his neck to see all the trailers and was ecstatic to see the horses inside. I told him we would head down to the fairgrounds today and see if we could find the horses.
We found them and my son was in heaven! We walked through all the aisles of stalls and checked out all the horses. Rogan was so impressed with the "real cowboys". The men in boots, spurs, Wranglers and cowboy hats. He was in awe.
After watching a few people show their horses and seeing all we could we headed out to the tractor supply store to look for a toy horse trailer. Believe it or not, horse trailer toys with trucks are hard to find unless they are hot pink, purple and for Barbie.
We found a John Deere set with horses included. As we were getting ready to leave I told Rogan we needed to go look for a doghouse for Maizey. The dog houses are next to the equestrian aisle and Rogan headed right toward the horse stuff. That is where he found them. What every real cowboy needs. A set of spurs. Of course I let him get them, I couldn't break his little wanna be cowboy heart.
This being my first spur purchase I was unaware we needed to also purchase spur straps. Therefore when we got home our little cowboy was sad and upset because he couldn't be a real cowboy without his spurs. So, his redneck momma came up with a solution...
Yep, those are zip ties. Cowboy Rogan is happy and his daddy is going by the tractor supply store on his way home to get him some real straps.
A great day.
