First NLBRA of the Season

We went to St George last weekend for our first NLBRA rodeo this spring.  It was a great weekend except for the rain on Saturday.  It rained during the entire rodeo.  So the kids were soaking wet.  Then one hour after the rodeo, it stopped and the sun came out.  


I hadn't realized how much I have truly missed our rodeo life.  Brent has been out with an injury since October 31 and Racheal has had some medical issues since November.  Thankfully we are getting past both of those and are back on the road competing.  


Racheal seemed to be right at home in the arena.  She placed 2nd in Breakaway Roping both Friday and Saturday.  She placed 2nd in Barrels on Friday but really smoked them on Saturday placing 1st by more than 2 tenths of a second.  


Brent and his partner won the Team Roping in the rain on Saturday.  Brent placed 3rd in Tie Down Roping and 2nd in Team Roping on Sunday.  He is going to have good points in Team Roping when we head to Nationals in July.


Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day.  I really hated to leave the rodeo grounds.  They are my second home.

Rodeo Season is Almost Here

I can not believe how time flies.  Here we are about to start full time back in to rodeo.  We will be headed to St George at the end of the month for our 1st Little Britches rodeo this spring.  Then every weekend after that at a rodeo until June.  We get one weekend off and then to High School State Finals.


I am trying to get back in shape.  I have to get some things done around the house to be ready to travel each weekend.  We are practicing every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday as well as many days as possible in between.  Whew!
