The South Texas Trail Ride is here again. They are traveling to San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
February 2, 2012 to February 12, 2012 This is the 53rd Annual Trail Ride for the South Texas Trail Ride though South Texas starting at Edroy and ending at the San Antonio Stock Show. These riders and wagons are keeping the cowboy tradition alive. The Floresville Chamber of Commerce provided breakfast tacos at 6 am this morning at the Wilson County Show Barn to send the riders on their way on one of the last legs of the ride.
I have to say these riders are a hardier lot than I am. Riding and camping out for 8 days in this rainy weather has to be a challenge. But the riders love it and do it year after year.
When my children were little they would get so excited to hear the music and see the Trail Riders come by our house. The cowboys and girls would wave and the kids would be so excited to see everyone mounted and riding or the wagons going by. So this morning after I dropped the kids at school I got to see the riders come by but the kids missed it. Then a few minutes later they were riding by the office. More like an hour but we got to see them again. The little black wagon has a King Ranch sign on the back.
The San Antonio Stock Show runs from February 9 to February 26 with numerous rodeos and entertainers. There is a big variety of stars from The Band Perry, Keith Urban, Joe Nichols, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, one of my favorites Terry Fator. Plus you get to see the big Rodeo stars and riders. The young kids have fun with the calf scramble and showing their animals in the livestock show. So come on out and enjoy.
