This week was full of so much fun as we took the students who qualified on the end-of-the-year trip to Oklahoma and Texas! We are so grateful for the opportunity to tour some of the most well-known ranches and facilities around.
Our first day started at the National Cowboy Museum and we then grabbed lunch at one of the most famous restaurants around (skip to the last picture if you know, you know!). From there, we headed to Solos Select Genetics in Gainesville, Texas, where students learned about equine breeding, stallion management, and got to see some of the very best horses in the industry. We ended the night with a short walk around the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.
Thursday was absolutely jam-packed! We started the day at Outlaw Equine where students toured the facilities and learned about everything they have going on. Outlaw Equine serves as an equine clinic/hospital, rehabilitation center, and stallion management facility, giving students a chance to see many different sides of the equine industry all in one place. We then stopped by the NRS store before hurrying back to the Stockyards to watch the famous cattle drive, did a little shopping, and wrapped up the evening watching the PBR Showcase at the Cowtown Coliseum.
On our way home, we had to make one final stop at Cimarron Trailers where students got to see how trailers are made and learn how different skills can be used across industries they may not always think about.
All in all, it was an amazing trip! These students earned this opportunity through their hard work throughout the year, and we hope they had fun, learned something new, and know just how proud we are of them!
