Texas Article

This spring break I went to Texas for three weeks. My family and I decided to go to Texas so I could get my horses ready for rodeo and just to get away from the cold in Wyoming. In Texas we stayed at my aunt and uncles place in out horse trailer. My aunt and uncle live out side of Comanche which is about forty-five minutes to an hour outside of Stephenville. Now I am in love with Texas I didn’t want to leave and I have already started to plan my future down there.
We left here on a Wednesday and got there Thursday night. The first few days it was kind of cold and rainy so we decided to go to Dallas. There we met up with our friend Michelle and her son Tristan. After we had dinner with them and said our good byes the next day we went prom dress shopping. After we found the flipping sweetest dress ever we headed back to Comanche. Once we got back to Comanche after our two days in Dallas the weather had cleared and it was sunny and warm.
One the weather finally got sunny I got to work with my horses. I rode every day and practice every other day. While we were down there we went to a Cowboy Capital 5d Barrel Race in Stephenville. The arena this barrel race was held at was the lone star arena and it was the nicest horse complex I have ever been to. It was an outdoor covered barn with the best ground and facilities ever I was in heaven. Also I didn’t do to bad I didn’t win much cause of the D splits but I had some very nice runs and that’s all that counts. Also we were supposed to go to another barrel race at the Circle T arena in Hamilton but it rained and we couldn’t make it, but the Circle T is literally a five star arena it has a big fancy restaurant in it a massive hotel and it is extremely well kept.
Just by being there those three weeks a totally fell in love with Stephenville and everything it has to offer. The university at Stephenville is Tarleton State and I have already decided that I am going to go to college there because not only do they have great academics they have a great rodeo team, and that’s my main purpose to go to college. Also a little ways outside Stephenville is Dublin. Dublin is the birth place of Dr. Pepper and they make it there with imperial sugar instead of corn syrup, or whatever it is. This Dr. Pepper is the best thing I have ever tasted and I am hopelessly addicted to it. Also they have the best fast food chicken place called chicken express. I loved chicken express and they are only in the southern states.
I totally loved everything Texas had to offer; from the rodeo facilities to the colleges to the food. I wish I could go back right now and get out of all this snow and cold, but I’ll be back down there before I know it.
