SPRING BRANCH — With a loud and raucous “HOWDY!” St. Jerome Catholic School students greeted the Salt Grass Trail Ride as the Texas heritage group made their 105-mile-long trek from Cat Spring to Houston for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Wearing cowboy hats, boots and fringe galore to mark Feb. 23 as Go Texan Day, the students stomped and hollered when the trail riders cheered in reply.
A hat tip to Texas history, the annual region-wide Go Texan Day celebration rallies communities across the region to celebrate Texas heritage and signals the beginning of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Young cowboys gave friendly hat tips to the women riding in the group, each earning a genial smile and happy wave. The school children also cheered for a group of youngsters who were new additions to the trail ride and its 145-plus participants and 22 wagons, eager to see someone their age sitting atop a horse.
