It was a hot night for the Dayton Wranglers buck nite horse show. They started the show at 5, so we were sweating before we even got started. I went through several bottles of water through the evening and tried to keep the kids cool. Mark brought Jacob, who was there decked out in his cowboy gear. He had on a long sleeve shirt and black cowboy hat. He had to be so hot!! It was miserable hot. Jayden was up first in walk trot. It was a large class, around 15, and she got second place. That had to make her feel pretty good. Her little pony does well, even though she is a game pony with tie down and roping reins. Next I rode Missy our new paint horse, in western pleasure. There were 21 horses crammed into the arena. Missy was fun to ride even with the arena very sloppy wet. Form there the kids did some races. I knew Jake wanted to ride and he hasn’t ridden alone yet, so I made sure he got to ride. I had my mud boots along and ran on foot leading Missy with Jacob for the milk can race and barrels. I had lots of hollering from the crowd as I ran. I was embarrassed, but did it for my kid. Jayden did poles, barrels, and flags. She did a really good job. She is improving all the time. It was a little hectic and pretty hot, but we enjoyed it. Mark, not so much.
