Time for a little fishing...

Quite a day!

And here’s a tribute to Don “Little Brown Jug” Reynolds, 81, who died January 9, 2019.
Jug on his only trick riding pony, Highbrow. Over his lifetime Don learned to train a number of animals both domesticated and wild. He trained horses and ponies more than any other animal.
The boy who rode the man who rode the horse. Seven year old Don Kay Reynolds wanted to ride Trigger but he wasn’t available that day so the second best thing was to ride Roy. Photo taken at Rogers’ home in Encino.
