4-H rodeo

This year the fair had a 4-H type rodeo with different than usual events, my boys were way excited. Each event was just a dollar.  The first event was the key hole race, they had to run down to a circle painted white on the ground go in it and turn around and run out.  Ruxton was the first he did it on Zan.  Zan was a little unsure of the white on the ground and he got away from Ruxton a little bit.  It spooked him and Addler pretty good.  The next event was a partner race where one on horse goes down and picks up the other on a barrel.  Ruxton was going to do it, was still a little scared but that kid has courage.  He was really scared but did it anyway.  Maestin ran down picked up Ruxton and was a good brother back and took it easy.  They all ended up happy in the barrels where they did great.  Maestin did all the events and had a lot of fun.  His high light was the ribbon race where you have a partner and hold onto a ribbon and run down around a barrel and back up without dropping your ribbon or ripping it.  Him and Cody weeks both had little pinto horses and they tore it up.  Maestin even did a whop and and holler, they won that event.  Maestin and Bronco had a fun night! It really was a fun evening with them all.

A lot of work getting four kids on horses, but it was fun for them and I loved watching my little cowboys.
