District Riding Club Show

This year Bradyn and I joined the Bluffdale Bronx Riding Club. It's a brand new club that some our friends started up. We started riding on April 7th and have rode every Wednesday night since plus a few Sundays in between. We have loved it! We have so much fun riding with all our friends and it has been so good for our horses. I have loved to see the transformation of our horses from that first day of riding to where they are now since our horses are doing events that they had never really done prior to this year.

This last weekend was our District Show (1st show) and it was held in Herriman. I qualified in Team Poles and the Water Race and am on the Parade and Drill Team. In Poles me and Jet did great and so did my team and we ended up 5th overall and will move on to Region. In Water Race our team didn't do so well. And then our Parade and Drill Team took 2nd in both. Yeah!!! We did so good after all of our hard work and will be moving on to Region in both of those.

Bradyn qualified for quite a few teams. He is such a natural when it comes to this stuff and did riding club for years. He placed in the Trailer Race, Team Penning, Potato Race, Pony Express and was on the same Pole Team as me. The only thing he is not moving on to Region in is Team Barrels and Team Keyhole.

Our entire club did very well. We have at least 1 or both teams going to Region in Parade, Drill, Cow Cutting, Men's Pleasure, Pair's Pleasure, Reining Pattern, Team Barrels, Hide Race, Trailer Race, Team Penning, Wild Cow Milking, Ribbon Pull, Calf Roping, Team Roping, Breakaway, Water Race, Potato Race, Poles Singles, Team Poles, Team Keyhole, Pony Express, Relay Race, and Flat Track Races. The only events we don't have anybody going to Region in is Ladie's Pleasure, Barrels Singles and Keyhole Singles. Way to go Bluffdale Bronx!!!

My Grandma Carolyn was so nice to offer to help us out with our kids. I didn't even have to ask her. She drove all the way in from Hanna on Friday and stayed at our house with our kids so that we could go to the show and not have to worry about them getting run over by some crazy horse (believe me, there are some crazies at these shows). I don't worry so much about Peyton but Houston is fearless when it comes to horses. Plus it really made it a lot easier since between the 2 of us we were in so many events and had to help time and stewart on events that we weren't in. Thanks Grandma for helping us out! The kids really liked spending time with you.

Our Region show is this coming weekend in Logan. We are really excited and hope our club does well. Go Bronx!!! To make it easier for us my Grandma Pat didn't hesitate to offer to help us with the kids. So they are going to go with her to her cabin. I think they will have more fun up there anyways. I used to love spending weekends at the cabin with my Grandparents. Thanks Grandma! The kids are really excited for this weekend.

I couldn't believe it, but Bradyn grabbed my camera and took all of these pictures. I was so busy and didn't get any pictures of the other events. Amber took some really awesome pictures of everybody so when I get them from her I will post some more.
