Alberta is still in deep in a pandemic fighting covid-19, but the Alberta High School Rodeo leaders worked and worked to get a plan approved by Alberta Health Services so we could still have rodeos. Everyone has to wear a mask, except right when they make their rodeo run. And no one can sit in the stands. And parents can only walk up to the rodeo fence right when their child is competing and watch or video and then go back to the trailer. It was better than nothing.
We went to Vauxhall, Taber, Foremost, Nanton, High River and Strathmore. Lucy and Carly had some great runs and some not so great runs. Most of the days we went were pretty nice, and we choose not to go to the Sunday rodeos, but I think they had rain or snow most Sundays. There were two weekends where it was snowing in Cardston, but then it was nice by the time we got to the rodeo location.
Lucy missed one of the rodeos because she was in close contact quarantine and couldn't leave our house, plus she only gets to go to one of the rodeos each weekend. And we missed being able to rodeo at Southern Circuit rodeos through the winter, and some weekends didn't go as well as we hoped, so she didn't qualify for provincials. Next year.
Carly did qualify for provincials in her 3 events: pole bending, goat tying and breakaway roping.
Our girls are lucky to have a dad who puts so much time and effort into helping and teaching and encouraging them!
