3 Rodeo Run

7/25/16 This was a 3 rodeo week. Monday Afton. Tuesday Britt, Wednesday Indianola. Monday, Jayden hauled with the Nelson’s to Afton. It is so nice to have another family to share the load with. They picked her up and dropped her off because we were on the route and it was 1:30 AM when Jayden got home. She had a repeat run from Sunday, Ace bowed wide at the first barrel and lost a little time going into second. Tuesday I drove her and her horse Tex to the Nelsons and Jayden went on to the TMRA rodeo. She wanted to take Tex to make a run for points and give Ace a break.  Tex was chargey and took all the barrels extremely wide. It showed that he hasn’t been worked with as much as Ace. He isn’t the kind of horse that will stay sharp with little work. Jayden spent the night at Morgan’s and I got her the next day. Wednesday, Mark took Jayden to her rodeo in Indianola. He did not know Jayden would be running in slack and it made for a late night. These late rodeos really get to 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.
