Let's Rodeo!

Our County fair and rodeo is going on this week and last night was the night of the youth rodeo. Emily participated in the cloverleaf barrels, and the straight-away barrels. She did a great job riding strawberry and finished both patterns perfectly.
This is our new friend Brinn, she came to watch Gavin, Emily, and Cade compete.
Cade was so cute! He rode strawberry in the cloverleaf barrels, the straight-away barrels, and he also rode a sheep. He was the youngest competitor in the rodeo. He makes me a little nervous because he has absolutely no fear and he gets Strawberry going very fast.
Gavin was able to ride Blueberry this year and she did so good, he made great runs on her in the Cloverleaf barrels, the straight-away barrels, and the poles. He placed in every single horse event, and he also rode a calf which made him the all around winner.

We had some really great friends come and support the kiddos. These are our close friends Becky and Evan who we love hanging out with.


Paige and Brinn, beautiful girls!

We have this great new family move in, and they came to help cheer the kids on.
These are a few videos of the kid's runs. In the second video, watch closely at chute number 4, that is the chute Cade will be coming out of.

That looks like so much fun!! I can't believe Cade is riding the horse all by himself. What a brave little boy. It's nice that you have a gentle enough horse for a little kid. Loved the videos. Thanks for sharing.
