Sept. 9th was a blast

I have to say - we have a small group - micro almost - but we have the best time. Everyone cheers for everyone and we never ask twice for help. Love it. Disclaimer: the barrels were not set on the markers as they should have been, but we had fun anyway.

Another clear beautiful night in Colorado and my daughter, Casey, rode my horse, Cash, and did a bang up job. She has barely ever ridden him and took him down to the arena for her barrel runs since her horse pulled something and she looked beyond gorgeous.

Brittany also had to use a different horse and still smoked her runs and looked gorgeous while doing so. She comes to our little event with a whole posse of helpers and has a blast. Her brother will be running soon and probably smoke her butt.

Ashleigh looks like she is a pod person who came to our first event and she has come so far so fast. She and her horse (whose name I don't recall) were hauling ass at the last event, go Ashleigh. She is in middle school at the same school my daughter attends and where Morgan and Chelsee go as well.

Rebecca was riding a new horse as well and she's turning into quite the young lady. She also hauls with a posse behind her and some help from her friend Dan. She did a great job on a horse that she does not normally use and really powered through. The horse though did a bang-up job as well. Blond hair flying, that's Rebecca riding at the arena!

Morgan has been doing all her own training on her horse, Stormy, and while I was very adamant to my friend that the horse was too young for her daughter, she promptly ignored me and made them work into a team. While Morgan gets a crow hump every now and then, they ARE making quite a team!

Chelsee is still in the walk/trot category but she has fun making her mom run through the pattern with her, and frankly, I'm starting to wonder if maybe Chelsee isn't just picking on her mom by making her do it! Pretty sure Audra was going to have to call for a defibrillator at this last event.

Of course, I wasn't far behind her with my Dylan and walk/trot and of course I wore the wrong shoes, but considering my feet, there really aren't any "good" shoes for me to wear. Dylan did great and that pony of his actually humped up on Casey during the poles and did a bang up trotting job for Dylan.

Audra smokes her runs all the time, so no surprise there, but she had a time with her horse, Victor, this last time as he hadn't been to the gymkhana this month due to an injury and you could tell. His second run on the barrels and the poles were perfect, first runs not so much, but Audra knows how to power through and keep on working.

Good fun.
