Jimmy Lafave Was Here!

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY...

After Kinky and I adios-ed each other, I called Carol to tell her what was going on and her immediate response was, "Oh my god, Nancy! He can't sit on Maya with her wearing a pink saddle blanket!"

"I know and that's why I called you..."

Today has been great thanks to The Cowgirl Sisterhood. Carol arrived at the rescue ranch at 8:00 as planned, with a gray saddle blanket for Maya. After we said our howdies we jumped into the truck and Kermit to go find Maya to get her ready for her first major picture role.

After saddling Maya, The Smartest Horse in Medina Movies, Carol took her into the corral to exercise her and run her around the ring for a few minutes, because it's been quite a while since I have ridden her and Little Jewford, our miniature donkey, who worships Maya, went into the corral, too.

When Carol started Maya galloping around the ring, Little Jewford immediately started running as fast as he could behind her. It was really sweet and fun to watch.

Later when Carol was riding Maya around the ranch, with LJ following them, I went to the Lodge to tell Kinky, the friendly director and the upbeat film crew, that Maya was ready when they were. Here are pictures of Carol riding the range and of Carol and Maya visiting with Roy, Gabby and Little Jewford.

Twenty minutes later, in the secluded woods, Kinky was back in the saddle and he and Maya were posing for the camera crew, with our donkeys standing nearby. After the film crew's cameras had captured Kinky on Maya, I took this picture of Carol visiting with Kinky, in his late 1800's costume. In the western movie scene, if they decide to use it, they are only going to show Kinky's hips and legs, as he dismounts from Maya and that is why he is wearing a ball cap.

Before Kinky and the crew took off, Kinky invited us to come back over when his musician friend, Jimmy Lafave, arrives to be in some scenes with Kinky. And here is a picture that I took of the movie director visiting with Kinky and Jimmy. 

Y'all have a great evening!
