6/17/16 Tonight was another IRCA rodeo,
this time a little closer to home in Adel. The whole family went and Grandma
& Grandpa Wahlert along with Alice came to watch. They are Jayden’s biggest
fans. It has been a very hot week and the sun was hot until the sun went down. She brought Tuff and found out dogs were not allowed, so he had to stay tied at the trailer. Jayden got to run in the performance and was up third for the night. Her time
was smoking fast and held for awhile. She ran a 16.16 and the fastest time of
the night was a 16.07. That is fast and close. The girl that is leading IRCA
and leading URA(United Rodeo Assoc) had a 16.08. That is pretty impressive. Ace
ran flawless and fast. It was a really good run and I was in awe at the end of
the night when I heard all the times. He just amazes me. He is such a good ol
boy. Of course it can’t all be easy and simple. He has started resisting going
into the arena. It is hard to know if he is sore or if he is just getting gate
sour. It is no fun when you have to deal with a horse that goes side to side
and pops up. He also decided he didn’t want to load in the trailer at the end
of the night. It was 10:30 and we were all tired, loaded up and ready to head
home when Ace refused to load. It took some time and he loaded himself. He is a
great horse and is doing amazingly well. I hope and pray that he can continue
running the season without getting hurt or having problems. Jayden has so much
potential with him and I pray that they have a great season and many more
together. The picture shoes Ace with his new (bought used) PHT blanket and Back on Track boots. The blanket is magnetic therapy and the boots are heat therapy with copper. All this to help him feel his best, because Jayden insists.
