Wess

 

Jayden decided to sell Wess.  It didn't take her long to list and sell Wess. After he was sold, I think it surprised Jayden how much she liked that horse and had a really hard time saying goodbye. He was her rope horse with all the buttons to be quick and snappy. He could do speedy rollbacks and launch out of the roping box. He had no problem with fast cattle. She also did some barrel racing and ran in a college rodeo with him. He made a great run in Fort Scott. He was a little unpredictable and could buck hard! She liked having two horses, a horse to keep her busy and another horse to have for a riding buddy, usually Noah or her roommate. I thought maybe she could take my palomino Weenie for a couple months to get him some hauling and riding time. He is young and can be skittish and also gets a little humpy. So, I put him on a trailer and hauled him west. We had an acquaintance lined up to haul him. I wasn't too happy with the arrangement and worried about his well being. When I loaded him he got kicked by another horse and was in a stock trailer without dividers. Thankfully he arrived safe and sound, but I will not use her to haul again. Jayden said Noah was calling Weenie "his horse" and was excited about him arriving. He has been riding him with Jayden.

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.
