The last
day of the fair is always a busy one. Jayden was up in the night a few times with her
head hurting. The horse was fed saddled and Jayden was riding by 8:30. The show
began at 9 with break the gait then egg and spoon. She placed in the top in both classes. In the outdoor arena, they started with poles. That
didn’t go so well with Tex darting in on the pattern. Then she ran a good barrel
pattern. She had her own fan club with Wahlert grandparents, Alice, Wade,
Carina, Alivia, Dad and the boys. Everyone was getting hungry and left to get a
bite to eat except Alice. Jayden ran in flags with Tex, she dropped her flag in
the first bucket and swooped up to the second. She did it and did it fast. Her competition ran her first horse
slow making sure she got it in the bucket and her second horse fast and missed.
I knew it was close, was hoping and hoping, but not sure. And yes, Jayden won
the class. I hollered with excitement for her. She was beaming and so happy and
so was I! The first trophy in 4-H, the first trophy on Tex and a win. It was so
good to see her win and make it worth all the hard work of horses and all the
work of the fair. It is such a nice trophy too. When Jake saw her with the
trophy he smiled and was so happy for Jayden telling her good job.
The last two
classes were keyhole and figure 8 jumping. The jumping class was so cool, Tex
jumped pretty good on the run back. We have an awesome picture to show it. The
show day was over around 1:30. Jayden and I cooled off and rested in the
camper. Her head was really hurting. Soon the cousins were all needing a place
to hang out and get dressed in. Our camper was full of girls, dresses, make-up
and hair spray in no time. The girls got primped up and went to the parade of
champions dinner together. So happy Jayden got to be part of it this year. While they
were gone eating, Mark did all the horse clean up and haul home, while I
cleaned out the camper. Nothing could leave until 7PM. We watched the parade of
champions presentation, then we all headed home exhausted! Jayden was happy to be home resting in her favorite spot with her kitty, and a bad headache.
