Saturday's IRCA rodeo was a Grand River Rodeo at Jefferson. Going from a wet mud hole to a dry hard shallow arena is quite a change. I had Jayden saddle Ace and ride in the arena before the rodeo to let him get a feel for the ground. The poor guy ran in slop and went completely down the night before, I thought he would be leery about running hard. The ground was not great, it was uneven and had some hilly spots. Not ideal at all for running barrels. Ace ran in hard, but knocked first. Jayden is so positive, she can find the good in everything and analyses her runs picking out the good from the one bad. Allison was there to warm up with and talk to. She had a knocked barrel too. Morgan came late and ran in slack. She had been at a junior high rodeo and would later leave to head back again for more runs. She ran and placed. She is just out of the top 15, but this may bump her up. I think it would be fun for Morgan to make finals with Jayden and enjoy it together. She is also her competition which makes it tough. Both girls are in the running for Rookie of the Year. Morgan gave Jayden a tank top as a gift for staying at our house and wrote a long personal note. She looks up to Jayden so much. Saturday's IRCA rodeo was a Grand River Rodeo at Jefferson.
