Gary “Bad Dog” Bennett demonstrated mounted shooting – which I’d have to say looks kinda fun!  His horse Jack was a pistol (haha, pun intended), yet completely bored when not running the pattern. 



“Bad Dog’s” wife demonstrated the event…



…and later they did some tricks, with Jack getting a chance to lay down on the job while the mini (named “Killer”) charmed the audience…


 

And this next demonstration would just have been a touch more fun with real circus music… Cirque deParelli?  Trevor Carter did a good job explaining things like the carrot stick (it’s the carrot and the stick, all in one!  Brilliant!), all very entertaining!




And last, Trey Young, who has a show on HRTV, demonstrated colt breaking on this filly. I took this pic just in case he ever wanted to promote his training services on Craigslist !!
