Little Britches Rodeo

Rodeo season has officially started. We went to Panguitch last weekend to a Little Britches Rodeo. Surprisingly, Brent wanted lots of pictures taken. I am not sure what happened to him. So I have lots of Brent pictures. I really like the one here with his rope!

The weekend did not start off great. Coy was pulling a trailer with calves for the rodeo. When we were on the freeway, he got a flat tire on the trailer on the driver's side. So that took almost an hour. I was pulling our horses in our trailer and just as soon as we turned on to the 2-lane road where there is not a good place to pull over I got a flat on our trailer. Ahhhhhh!

The weekend was also colder that than had predicted. So it was pretty cold. It looked sunny but the wind made it cold. Still a weekend at a rodeo is better than work any day!

Brent did really well in the flag race. He got his best times yet. He ran in 10 seconds each day. His fastest time before was 11 seconds. So he took 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday. He missed his breakaway calf on Friday. On Saturday, he had a beautiful loop but a little big. The calf ran right through it. Ooops!


Racheal had a tough weekend. Through no fault of her own, she drew really bad cattle both days. Her calves and her steers were both bad. The one steer stuck his haed in the fence. That makes it a little hard to rope. I think she had fun over all but having bad draws makes for a frustrating weekend.

She still looks beautiful in a cowboy hat.

I am glad the kids had fun!! I agree that a weekend at a cold rodeo is way better than a day at work!! 10 seconds in the flags is great!! He must have been flying!!
