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.
This year the TMRA youth rodeo group held their awards banquet at Hidden Acres. They had dinner and awards. Mark went just long enough to see Jayden get her awards and left. Luke ran around with his little rodeo buddies and Jayden wasnt feeling the greatest all day. I wasnt sure we would even be able to attend. It was long with so many kids in so many age groups getting awards. Jayden got winner of the average for the finals weekend and her award were engraved stirrups. They are very nice and fancy. I think she will keep them as a trophy rather than use them, they are just too neat. Johnny also chose a select group of kids to receive the Leadership award ans she was one of them. The youth rodeo group is great for kids to start and build up confidence.
