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.
After church we went on our first family horse ride. It was a beautiful day with sun shinning and no wind. We saddled up all the horses and put Luke behind me on Tex in the buddy seat. It was really fun to ride out as a family. We went down the road and through the pasture along the creek. I also had Luke ride Winnie all by himself for the very first time. He felt pretty big going around the outdoor arena all by himself. He went around the barrels and everything. It was cute to see. Later Tony and his family came over and roped. The boys had a fun time with Cash. They made roads all over in the tin shed in the fine black dirt. They even dug a hole and made a bridge. They were filthy. Luke and Cash rode their horses together for a few minutes before heading back to the dirt. Good ‘ol boy fun.
