Junior High Rodeo Provincials

The weather was great for the junior high rodeo provincials in Nanton, Alberta.

Here's the rundown of the weekend:

Day 1

Clean pole run but the ground was deep and slightly muddy.

Slow goat run - didn't flank very well 14.0 seconds

Breakaway - missed

Not our most fine ride home. Carly wasn't happy. Austin gave a pep talk about overthinking things, having fun, not worrying about what other people think, remembering the basics, etc.

Day 2

Hanna's horse Lena got called up from the pasture to be the goat horse. Lena has been sore and spent the winter at Grandpa's house. She hasn't been ridden for a long time. They took her to the Agridome last night to ride her and do a few goat runs. She took it like a champ.

Clean pole run

Goat got up but Lena worked great.

Sweet breakaway run- placed second for the day

Much happier drive home, especially with a stop at Dairy Queen

Day 3

Clean pole run - only 6 out of 30 girls had 3 clean pole runs. So Carly ended up placing 4th in the average, which is awesome for Carly and Slick, a rope horse that runs poles.

10.1 seconds in Goats. Placed 1st for the day

Missed in Breakaway as her rope hit the post as she left the box.
