Horse Show

Today was a hot one! We went to the Dayton Wranglers Buck nite horse show around 3 and it was a hot and humid!! Jayden and I took Missy and Dakota. Hemi had an accident while in the care of the previous owner. Apparently the other horses ran him into a fence and he cut his chest all up. I feel so bad. We are just having an awful time with these horses.
Jadyen rode in walk trot getting 4th place and western pleasure getting 3rd place. She does so well in those classes and they are large groups, 15 or so kids. Then on to the races. In barrel racing, Jayden really let Dakota run and she flew. She did such a great job!! She ran her fastest time ever a 19.06 and won the youth barrels. She was pretty excited! I rode Missy in poles and barrels also. I think she has a great start and will be good at these events. Jacob rode Missy while I walked alongside during barrels. Later Jayden rode a horse around the parking lot that is for sale. She looked so good on him and fell in love. The horse is a 7 year old bay that kids have been riding. I would just love to find a safe horse that Jayden could enjoy. Seeing her smile and the excitement of riding such a nice and quiet horse, I think we will pursue him.

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.
