This is a TEST! Is it really in your Blood ?

[Kid Sopris]

Ok, here's the deal ! You must find and post the oldest picture of you in either Cowboy or Cowgirl or Indian Attire or sitting upon a horse. For some of us, it will be easy because they still ran stage coaches, prairie schooners, Conestoga wagons. For you young'ns well, do the best you can. HOWEVER. you must post a date or circa to the picture. Have fun!

Kid Sopris, circa 1952, Tulare California

[Nellie Blue]

Yoohoo! Oh keeper of the family photos.... :help Do we have early photos with Cloud?

[Duzy Wales]

Does an Indian outfit count?

[Kid Sopris]

YES IT DOES !

[Duzy Wales]

Here it is, this would be 1959! Wish you could see my braids better and the fringe. Maybe I can find a better one of me in it. lol

[Duzy Wales]

This is not my first one on a horse....but the quickest one I could locate....I would say this is 1980.....

[Duzy Wales]

Ok, this is Longeye....been a Cowboy all his life....

[Black Hills Barb]

I've got a holster with gun on. I'd say it's probably about 1960.

[Black Hills Barb]

And if this counts, not exactly cowboy attire but the old concertina might be sorta PC. And I am wear suspenders! I'd say this is around '55 or '56. Can't ya just imagine me entertaining the rest of the cowpokes around the campfire. :rofl

[Duzy Wales]

Another one of Longeye....maybe this one will be more clear! Isn't he the cutest little guy?

Barb, you are lookin' good there too!

Kid, great picture of you too....how are you getting yours to upload that large?

Duzy (who still has a lot more to learn with these pictures) Wales :rofl

[Nellie's Mom]

OK Kid, I've got one of Nellie I'd like to post but don't know how. You gonna guide me thru it or do I send it to you by e-mail? Not THAT far back but interesting. Nellie's Mom

[Nellie Blue]

That ain't no bull either! :rofl

[Nellie Blue]

Here's one of my favorite...but still not as early as I would like...

[Kid Sopris]

Nellie, Your mission, should you agree to accept, is to obtain and post a picture of you many years ago. As always this message will self destruct in 5 seconds. :rofl

[Jady]

Not cowboy or indian attire, but I am on a horse...

[Nellie Blue]

I'm digging (or should I say Mamma & Daddy are digging)...I'm the older one in this photo...around 1976 (age 14). That's me & my cousin on my 1st horse, Cloud.

[Nellie Blue]

And this is probably my first time in western clothes...around age 11...what's up with that short vest?! :rofl (It WAS the 70's you know! I was such a trend setter :rofl )

[Nellie Blue]

Is it really in your Blood ?

Well, if you go back and look at the title....yes, it is in my blood...this is my Grandma and Great Aunt in 1934.

[Duzy Wales]

:99 This has turned out to be a really cool post, Kid! Everyone looks great. So, I guess it really is in our blood.....

Allie Mo, I wish that was 1969, but :ty :ty

[Four-Eyed Buck]

[Nellie Blue]

Kid, you weren't even a twinkle yet!

[Hugh Damwright]

I'm guessing this is 1980 which would make me 3. I think I still have the rig in the attic but the guns are long gone. Sure wish I still had those !!!!

[Nellie Blue]

Awww! How cute! Makes you just want to pinch those cheeks!

Dang him! He makes me feel old! I graduated that year!

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Bulls Head Bill, Christmas 1959!!

[Hugh Damwright]

I wish I could find pics of me on mom's old horse. She had a wonder horse that talked We still have it in the attic also! :) Fannie, I bet if me and Bill had known each other as "kids" we coulda been buddies and played cowboy together. Can you imagine ??? :rofl

[Linn Keller]

I'll do some excavating and see if I can come up with one or two. The one I am thinking of ... I'm probably about 3 or 4 with Pappy's 94 Winchester stood up beside me, I'm holding it with my right hand, and holding a wabbit by the hind legs with the other hand, just as high off the floor as I can haul it, and the wabbit is nearly dragging the floor!
(A dear friend, rest her soul, printed that one in the local paper under "Birth Announcements" on my 40th ...)
