Horse Show




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.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
