Main Street Bandera was unusually busy this morning, not sure if it was due to visitors staying overnite after the wrestling matches at the Longhorn Saloon, or visitors passing through on their way to Lost Maples State Park, or Hill Country Natural Area or cowboys coming to town to stay for the American Cowboy Celebration this Saturday.
There were cowboys on horseback strolling the main thoroughfare in search of something (drink, maybe) and wannabe cowboys watching them. We ran into Jeanne Parker, owner of Bandera Carriage, hanging out on Main Street with her buddy Boots. Jeanne operates a horse and carriage business in town, just the thing for special occasions -like a date with your sweetie. Today she was offering photo ops with her miniature pony Boots. For $10 your little cowboy or cowgirl can pose atop Boots- maybe she'll even stroll you a few feet or so for the thrill of your young life. I happened to snap my pic of Boots just as a wee one was examining her girth.
Unfortunately, he wanted no part of sitting on Boots- I missed the tearful shot as he ran off. I'm sure tho, that Jeanne had many takers today and didn't miss this little guy. Come this Saturday the town will be filled with real and pretend cowboys- bring your hat and best girl or guy for one fun day!
