Panguitch Results

Last weekend we went to Panguitch for the Little Britches Rodeo. We had a lot of fun. We got to stay with good friends and relax in the warm sun.

Racheal had a really good rodeo. She took first in Poles on Friday and second in Poles on Saturday. She also placed third in Speed Trail on Friday and second in Speed Trail on Saturday. She had never done Speed Trail. You have to take your horse through an obstacle course as fast as you can. She had to carry mail and put it in a mail box, open and close a gate, back through 2 barrels, jump and cross a bridge. The first night her mare Dee Dee did not want to go over the bridge because she had never seen one like that before. The second day she shaved 14 seconds off her time. To the right are a couple of picture of Racheal at the rodeo.

I love the top one where she is warming up. She is seriously thinking about her run. The second one is her coming off the second barrel. The picture should have been zoomed more but I still like it. Hopefully placing in this show will get her confidence back up. She has really been struggling to believe in her abilities to rodeo lately.

Brent had his best goat run yet. It was 14 seconds. He was 10 seconds faster on Saturday than on Friday. He was especially proud that he finally beat Dixon. He has always looked up to him and it was good for him to be able to feel like he could compete on his level. There are also goat pictures to the right.

I am also attaching a picture of him warming up for breakaway roping. I love the determination on his face. He did miss both runs in breakaway but his roping is coming along.
