Behind the Scenes at Dixie Stampede - 01

Summer of 2007 I worked at Dixie Stampede. The afternoon shift did not bring in the shavings we needed, and none of us were licensed to drive the truck. So we took this putt putt cart that was on it's last limb and managed to bring in shaving bales. Unfortunately it required some creativity to get it back outside LOL.

I thought Sunny is in TN. I miss that Horse so bad. We got along grate. He was my horse the last 2-3 months before it closed down. I was really working on him. He was starting to look a lot better. He was dropping weight and had sores on him. My poor Sunny Bear. I hope they are taking good care of him. I would have tried to buy him if I knew that I was able to at the time.

@RazZ611 I'm not sure where he is now. It's a shame that he didn't go up for auction. But from what I know of the horses that did go up for auction after they closed, they were bought to resell quickly. Yeah Sunny was horribly barn sour. He used to be the host horse in Orlando, and then they got Athena. Where ever they have him now, I hope they don't over work him because he's had one to many leg flare ups to remain sound for the rest of his life. He was one of my favorites.

@Burakkubara Okay but you can still people search Right?

@marysharp9 *squeals* Sunny! I hope he's better up there. He was quite barn soured here, and developed a horrible stall kicking here and went lame a number of times. I think I do...I haven't used it in ages tho.

@Burakkubara I know where he is! Sunny is in branson! I think hes the host horse now! Do you have a myspace? I have some good pics of Branson uploaded!

Corporate guys come down to check the place out ever so often. No idea who they were, we're just treated like labor and it was a don't ask don't tell kind of business. There was a Palomino named Sunny, used to be the hosts horse before we got Athena. If you know where he went, that would be great to find out. I know the drafts got auctioned off, then resold them. The drafts and Sunny were my buddies. I think I was one of the few Athena didn't try to kill that made me feel loved <3

How would the gut in Tn know about yall putting the saddlebreds outside?
