This show was put on by a 4-H club run by a good friend of ours. It was a Ranch Horse show, which means it was about moving cattle..... (And the calves don't always cooperate!)
Roping... (Tricky to say the least!)
Showing off your ground work skills.... (Here, Nicole is backing her horse away from her as she stands in one spot. Harder than it might sound. And he did it!)
And playing fun games with your friends! (This is the "Ribbon Race" where you and your teammate hold a two foot piece of crepe paper and if it breaks you're out. They had to trot and lope and change directions and stop and back. They did great. So great in fact, that they were the winning team!)
This girl came home with lots of medals and that big ribbon represents her win of Grand Champion for her age group (which also included a $75 gift certificate!). Good job, kiddo.
