Birthday whip- The Unleaded Cow Whip

[Jonathan Lewis]

Looks like you live a good life Roy.

[Roy Partin]

Thanks, I do the best I can. If I'm half the man my father is, then I will be happy. To this day we are still best friends, and still work together on a daily basis. I'm trying to rub off onto my children everything that he has rubbed off on me. So far its working.

[Carl Feairs]

It is so much fun to see a child having fun!
I made a crop for my grand daughter and she has to give me a little smack on the leg every time we are getting ready to mount. I can tell that she is going to do it and it is still fun every tme!
I will post a photo of the crop in "My one and only"

This really is something else. It's almost unreal to see a moment like this, you will both remember this for your whole lives. The best birthday photo ever

No eye protection though

Pokkis, sorry but I've never heard of wearing eye protection while cracking. I guess my people figured if you hit yourself once then you wouldn't do it again. I remember wacking the back of my ear when I was 5 or 6, it never happened again.

Hm. Risky business, I'd say. I've seen a whole lot of really bad eye injuries over the years. Hitting an ear, well. Hitting the cracker into your eye is a different story. Whip coaches worldwide will tell you that eye protection is mandatory. To be honest… I'd make sure that the little lady wears simple safety goggles.

When she's old enough to see the consequences and potential danger and she says "No, thank you", then it's her own decision. But until then I'd highly recommend to protect her eyes. Serious.

Ya Roy defendantly have her wear eye protection. When I first got started I hit myself in the eye and couldn't wear my contacts for 3 days. My older brother was trying the coach mans crack and hit himself in the eye also. Took his eye 4 weeks and a couple trips to an eye doctor to get better. It's better safe than sorry when it comes to your eyes.

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Oh my gosh!! She is just too cute! I love love love that she is in her princess dress.

I just want to give you a big high five for being an awesome Dad. I'm so close to my Dad and the times that he taught me something are my most cherished memories. When I was 15 he helped me rebuild a 67 mustang. We spent 6 months out in the shop everyday after school... Now 20+ years later I still think I see him smiling in the back seat when I look in the rear-view. I'm sure your daughter will have the same kind of feelings toward you.

[Roy Partin]

Your right Robby, I've never thought of it like that. One wrong move and your eye is gone. I will have to find her some purple princess goggles. If she lost an eye because of my macho stupidity I would hate myself. Bobbi that is awesome. I'm a Mustang fanatic myself, but I recently sold my 67 fastback as it wasn't getting driven much anymore. It was too nice for these crappy Texas roads. I hated seeing her go because I put many hours in her, even built the engine myself. Here is a pic for ya

[Robert Gage]

Great car, Roy!

[Jared Routon]

Wow what a beautiful car.

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Beautiful Car, Roy! I love the color. Mine is red coup with black interior... that was a really good idea in the winter when we built it, In the summer in the desert... not so much.

That is one fine looking Mustang there, I can imagine how much it hurt to let go.
