Sunset Buckboard Adventure!

We enjoyed an evening of food and fellowship with some good friends Saturday night.  After dinner, my hubby "saddled up" the 24-horse tractor and the kids pulled their parents on the buckboard!  Here are a few of my favorites images from the buckboard adventure!  Enjoy!

Fabian and Andrea ride the buckboard

In case you are wondering what a buckboard is, it is a four-wheeled wagon meant to be drawn by a horse or other large animal. The "buckboard" is the front-most board on the wagon that acts as both a footrest for the driver and protection for the driver from the horses' rear hooves in case of a "buck."

Our neighbors had the buckboard set out near the road a couple years ago with a "Free" sign on it.  We used it for a display then my hubby recently remodeled it and enjoys hauling folks around by pulling the buckboard with the lawn tractor!

Fabian and Andrea were the second folks privileged to ride on it.  We fitted them both with cowboy hats and boots to match the theme.  Here are both of their favorites from their "buckboard" excursion!  Enjoy!
