Hardin Simmons University has a big Western Heritage Day exhibit each year. The K-2 grade students all get to go for a field trip. It is a fun event and the kids learn a lot about being a cowboy!

Everyone loves a pony!
The petting zoo area included sheep goats, a mule, and a calf.

Eating beans and biscuits! Yum Yum!
The last station the kids got to meet a farrier and learn how you trim a horses hooves and put shoes on. It was fun to watch and brought back some good childhood memories since my dad was/is a farrier. Always nice to get in touch with my farm girl side every once in a while. It was a fun field trip and the weather was perfect! I love getting to go on field trips and love that my son loves that I go!
That is so cool! And I had no idea you were a farm girl! How neat that your dad was a farrier!
