Good for them!!! It takes courage to do what they are doing... as we can see by the comments on this thread. I am happy for them that they are doing what they love, and enjoying it - as they should...

Why the need for a story and pictures? Can't these heifers practice incognito?

I quess that since a guy in Texas taught quarterhorses how to line dance,these heifers can get a chance to dance too.

I saw a troop of belly dancers in a parade once, many of them “overweight” or “obese” or “old” or otherwise not fit for the cover of Vogue.

I thought they were great. More power to them. I think it’s ridiculous that the only women we want to look at have to be in their 20s and in ‘perfect’ condition.

When I see Irish dancers or similar and some of them are grey or paunchy or otherwise not qualified to be Chippendale’s, I smile to see that too. Dance!

Why sure there are obese women in in Texas too.

Having lived in "Cowtown" for 11 years, I have seen my share of heifers, not the cow ..

In Cuba though...according to Micheal Moore, they have superior health care and I am surprised they allow their women to get so obese...I wonder if Mother Michelle knows...

My wife assisted with a Mission to Haiti. She learned that in places in the third world where parasites and starvation are common “fat” is not derogatory; to be “fat” is considered an indication of health.
