Horse Skills


 It has been so neat to see Jayden improve her horsemanship. I know that serpentine riding has helped with that. She rides at least two nights a week sometimes more and spending so much time in the saddle helps too. Her horse has a job and really works well for her. The two of them have really improved by leaps and bounds this year. Lots of prayers have been answered with her horse. Tonight was the 4H horse project trail course. The obstacles were hard at first, but with patience after a couple times through, Jayden was able to get her horse to do them all. Comparing where Jayden was a year from now, it is amazing how far she has come. Now she is finally enjoying herself and often has a big smile. She also has a good friend, Cheyenne that she rides with. Last year at 4H meetings I saw frustration and often times fear in her face. I am so glad she is confident on her horse and her horse is behaving.

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.
