Stick Horse Rodeo




This weekend aunt Barbie and her Sister-in-law put on a youth rodeo and had some events that my kids wanted to do like stick horse barrels and the goat ribbon tie and yes even mutton busting! Yes the even wanted to ride a sheep not a surprise from Jocee but Taylee yes. I said yes just because I really truly thought that they would chicken out but they both rode a sheep. Unfortunately i couldn't help them and take pics of it my mom did video it but i can't get it off my camcorder to my computer. So I'll tell you First event was the barrels just before i thought maybe i should've taught them the pattern so we did a quick course but it didn't help. Taylee went around all three barrels not in order but she did great Jocee just took off in a random direction and when she realized that she was supposed to go around the barrels she made it around the far one. Goat tieing didn't interest them so they played in the dirt. Then came the mutton bustin and they were excited we stood behind the shoots and waited our turn and after every time a kid fell off and cried i would say are you sure that you want to and the would yell yes yes yes and so i say okay. Finally clint came to help them get on and Tay was fine until clint sat her on the sheep then she freaked out!!!! At this point i decided that after all the time she spent telling me that she wanted to i was going to let her so i yelled hold on to the sheep and she said it's dirty i don't want to so Good uncle Clinter held her on and ran behind her then pulled her off so she didn't get hurt. Jocee freaked out cause Taylee freaked out but she also was told to ride and i think that she liked it cause i asked her if she had fun and she said yes then looked at Taylee crying and said no. It was fun their friend Kloee came and they had fun being in the rodeo. Thanks Amy for taking good pics for me.
