Well, we may have finally found the right horse. We have been all over the state looking for Brent a new rodeo horse. We went to Tremonton on Friday to look at an all around horse. She was very cute and had a lot of show and 4H experience. However, she had just a little roping training.
On Saturday we loaded up and went to St George to look for a rope horse. Coy has some very good friends down there that he high school and college rodeoed with. They had a friend who had a 12 year old mare that has years of roping experience. She was hauled for 4 years to high school rodeo. She is the perfect size for Brent. He will even be able to get off of her to goat tie without a ladder.
The person who owned her was trying to show Coy how she roped but he missed 3 times. So Coy got on her and caught 2 right away. He fell in love with the way she came in on the corner to heel. She has also been used for tie down roping. She may be able to get Brent through his first year of high school rodeo. Unfortunately, Brent was not there to ride her but he will love her.
He is so excited to get a new rope horse. He is finally ok with letting his old rope horse go. He has been so comfortable roping on him that he was a little worried about trying a new horse. The new horse ropes a lot like Wheezer. So he will get along great with her. I will post pictures of him with her as soon as we pick her up.
