If you are looking for a fun time and place to take your mother
on May 11, you are invited to Aerie Park to the VC Vaqueros Old
Timer’s Show.
Mothers will be most welcome, and if not riding, they can enter
the Telephone Book Race. Starting time is 9 a.m.
This is the 44th year the Vaqueros have held a fun show for the
“Old Timers” which in this event is 29 & over.
Classes will be Sit-A-Buck, Pole Bending, Trotting Race, Telephone
Book Race (partners–1 rider, & 1 other), and Champagne
Race in the morning. Start time is 9 a.m.
The Cook shack will be open, and Chef Todd is ready to cook with
a special for all the mothers.
Afternoon classes will be Single Pole, Jack Benny Pleasure (39 &
over), Figure Eight Stakes, Texas Barrels and Fox & Hounds (Partners).
The traditional cowboy trophies will be awarded to winners in these
classes except Fox & Hounds which will be gift certificates.
A special trophy will go to the oldest cowboy riding and the oldest
cowgirl riding. To qualify you must be entered in the Jack Benny
class and one other class. Also an award will go to the Oldest Horse
who must be entered in at least one class.
This is the one show of the year where all the “work”
is done by the Young Riders Group and the “old ones”
get to play.
