I am posting out of order at the moment but I realized that I never posted about RJ's time at fair.
This was her first year doing 4H and at the end of the summer they go and do County Fair and get judged on their abilities with their horse or if they have other livestock then they would be judged on those.
Since this was her first year we stuck with just one animal and of course she did horse. She used Princess( grandpa's horse) and did amazing for her first time.
one of her first events was showing her horse
they judged the horse and the handler in this one
it was a small course they had to work with and everything had to be just right
she did ribbon in this but all those that participated got a ribbon...so she doesn't like to count this one...LOL
she had sooooo much fun just being able to stay on her horse all day and hang with her friends that love doing what she loves doing...being a cowgirl!!
now this is an event she had never tried before, it is called pole bending. You have to weave in and out of the poles and do it as fast as you can...
and for her first time and out of about 20 kids she got 5th place :)
she was so excited!!
so needless to say we of course are going to do it again next year...and adding a pig to the mix. She wants to raise and sell a pig at fair next year, so wish us luck on that one :)
at the end of it all she received 6 ribbons...2 second place for show, 5th place for barrels, 5th place for pole bending, 5th in western pleasure & 3rd in western riding.
We are so proud of you RJ!!!
