Jayden signed up for a horsemanship clinic with a trainer named Cody Keller. It was a 2 day clinic, due to the small numbers, we just signed up for one full day. I went with Jayden and watched, Mom met me and we went for lunch. At one point, we got a heavy down pour and some strong wind, thankful we were indoors.The clinic was very helpful for Jayden. Cody taught her a lot and was good to Jayden. He encouraged her and complimented her a lot. I do think he was very impressed with the riding she does. There was one technique he was showing the students, counter arching. Jayden was able to do it no problem and could make her horse go anywhere. He was in awe and said never in all his clinics has anyone been able to do that. Jayden took Joker and Moose. She spent most of her time with Joker. She was able to ask questions and get some pointers. Cody told her that he would like Jayden to run one of his horses in a rodeo if she is every running in her area. That shows how impressed he was! He was serious too. He gave her one of his hats and told her he would help her down the road. He even gave us some pointers on trailer loading that we plan to use with Tiny. Even Joker doesn't go in the trailer the best and his technique worked. I think the clinic was worth the time.
Over the weekend, Mark took the boys to the largest truck show in Iowa. Not just trucks, this was a semi show. Luke was in heaven. Jake has a love of cab over semis and that has carried over to Luke. The boys found several they liked. They also saw BJ and the Bear who was signing autographs. He was in a tv series back in the 80's. Luke came home talking about the truck show non stop. He said, " This was the best day of my life!" Both boys came home with a souvenir. Luke got a semi with a custom made grain trailer complete with a tarp. It is made heavy and with such detail.
