During the winter months, Jayden coordinated arena riding. She had roping nights and barrel racing practices. Herself, she rides all the time. On roping nights, the group can vary from just a few to over a dozen horses. It is fun to see them all lined up along the wall inside and all the many trailers parked outside. Jake, Luke, and I took turns pulling the mechanical hot heels. I am not out at the arena most nights because I am running to taekwondo or other places. When I do, I have a hard time getting horses caught, saddled, fed, and supper on the table and a shower before bed. Jayden has been roping and doing slow work with Tex. Mark ropes both heading and heeling. He can rope all night and not miss.He is quite a roper. He takes a lot of pride in being consistent and is very competitive. He also has been working with Jayden's young horse Joker, getting him in position and tracking. By the end of the night everyone is tired and covered in arena dirt.
