Horse Crazy Kid

Nicole had a horse 4-H event last Saturday. It started with a horse judging contest in the morning and then she saddled her horse for a horse clinic to work on her riding skills. She was a very happy (if hot) kid. Here she is hard at work judging one of four classes of horses. We don't know yet how she did. The poor girl was wishing she hadn't worn a long-sleeved, black shirt. I should've thought to tell her to dress in layers, but I didn't. We were expecting rain, so we were pleasantly surprised (and HOT!) when it turned out sunny and warm. We were right on the Salmon River so the view was fabulous.

She did great with her horse, Jamaica. Sometimes he was a hand full, but her confidence seems to be soaring. It's so fun for this horse-crazy mom to have a horse-crazy kid!

You and Candy did a great job finding her just the perfect ride. In just the last year there has been such an improvement in her overall ability and confidence. That'a way to go, Nicole!
