On Saturday, the 8th of August, Tyler and Michaela had their County 4-H show. They had a very long day, 12 hours to be exact. Tyler is much like Kelli as he doesn't like Grooming and Showmanship at all, but will try once he gets in the class. He didn't have the right clothes, which didn't matter too much, but Barley didn't like the judge to walk around him, so he moved every time the judge tried to walk around him. That's ok, because Tyler didn't want to go any further in that class. After 2 lunging periods, Barley still wanted to go to the races in his class. Notice the picture in the middle on the right. Poor Tyler actually did the best in the class and came out with a first. He knows there will be lots of work for the next 3 weeks before districts.
Michaela received a 2nd in Grooming and Showmanship out of 34, 3rd in Equitation, 4th in Open Trail, 4th in Western Pleasure and a 1st in County Team. So both she and Tyler had a long , but good day. Districts are the 28th and 29th of August in Smethport, Pa. We will see Lauren and Matt then and hopefully the rest too.

Aww Tyler you look so cute! I love the pic in the upper right corner, he's hugging you. You two look so well matched, Barly "fits" you.
ReplyDeleteGoldie is TOO OLD and needs retired! I'm doing everything to keep my mouth shut, but as her mommy, i want her to be done.
Congratulations Tyler and Michaela, I think Goldie looks good too. Casey this may be good for her to be active and put out to pasture and forgotten.
ReplyDeleteTyler reminds me of ME!!! You are right, he doesn't like grooming like me either. Love the pic of him racing!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS TO MICHALEA!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!
Casey, Goldie is in great shape for her age and if she wasn't riden and used, she would be in very bad condition. Use and exercise keeps older horses in good condition and the comments she got on Saturday were nothing but the best! Goldie is a good ol girl and will love having the little kids play with her.
ReplyDeleteIt blows my mind that these two young cowboy and cowgirl run the show like they do! Hats off to the both you and I meant nothing by it when you I know you really do loose it at times rounding those barrels! Congrats to the both of you - you look so professional! But Ty, what is that stuff sticking out from under your hat infront of your ears??? :)
