THE PICK UP! Elgin TX

Well, we are sharing a ride with a trainer from Scott, LA. He's picking up 2 yearlings and we're picking up 2 yearlings. Our guest, Chuck, arrives at the house (after getting just a "little lost") and we "hitch" up and discover we need a wheel seal for the horse trailer....seems the last one to borrow it failed to say anything to my husband! No big deal, but we are anxious to get on the road! We planned to go the back way to the interstate, but now we have to go through town....finally get to the interstate and about 15 miles down the road, we have a tire on the vehicle that is almost flat! My husband, Robert and Chuck get out to change it and bend the rod for the jack! Oh no! Call for help, but of course this takes a little while....get the spare put on and drive to the nearest town to purchase a new tire (don't want to take any more chances. We scheduled ourselves to pick up at Stallion Station between 1-3 believing we would have plenty of time to get there! Well, not when you leave Louisiana at 11:00 in the morning! We finally arrived in Elgin around 4:30 and got our paperwork and loaded. Beautiful horses everywhere! We headed home with our tasks on board. This was not our first experience with mustangs, but it was the first time for Chuck! He was excited and ready to get started!We made it home about 11:00pm and Chuck still had 1 1/2 hrs to drive to his house.
