Dayton had a youth rodeo. I was excited to see a youth rodeo started in our area. Jake being 4, got to be in the stick horse race, roping a steer dummy, and goat tail untie contest. It was a muddy drizzly day and chilly. Jake was decked out in cowboy duds from his cowboy boots, wranglers, name on the back of his belt, cowboy carhart coat, and cowboy hat. He looked adorable. The funniest was the goat tail race. He ran up to the goat, which was tied, he stopped in his tracks then went for the tie. He played on the hill by the bleachers the rest of the day with Grandpa W, Daddy, and Aunt Alice.
Jayden ran barrels and poles. There were so many little girls riding around on there big horses. Her new friend Makenna was there too. I wished Jayden’s pony was calm enough she could do that too. It was fun to see the kids compete. I helped Jayden as I always lead her pony into the arena. She can be a handful at the gate. Jayden did well, she was holding her pony back, most of the time at a trot. That pony will just fly when she is good and ready. Jayden is going to be a good little rider someday because of that pony. I hope this summer she can start really running on her. I also want her to start riding Joe. I think she would do great with him and could be slow loping the barrels and learning on him.
