I'm FIRED

OK. I have a job...but I am FIRED from ever trying to video and upload from my camera! I totally deleted Brooke's Barrel run from yesterday afternoon from my camera . I KNOW..clicked "yes" when it should've been "NO" - doing too many things at once. That's what I get, I guess. My stomach hurts, it hurts so bad. (could have something to do with the crunches/workout at lunch) but I deserve to hurt. It was like the best video so I'll try to write out the memory from my brain:-)

They pull in to the arena and run a quick circle to make a DASHING start to the 1st Barrel. She has perfect hands and even forgets to grab the saddle horn as she just RIDES UP with her reins and is headed to 2nd (my favorite barrel to watch - probably because by the 2nd I am finally taking a BREATH). She's around the check point and looking directly to the third and final barrel. Diamond's like a JET taking off around the third and they are headed home. It's over and a great 2nd Place Ribbon goes out to Brooke with 19.43 second run. Another little girl, age 9, won 1st place with 19.29 seconds. She was one of the first riders and Nanny was sure Brooke beat her time with 1st place...Nanny was keeping up with the scores! So, we were just as proud to have a RED RIBBON and happy to keep all barrels on the ground and little 50 lb Brooke safe in the saddle headed home!

Next Play Day is in Canyon on the 21st. This one is fun because it has lots for the little ones to do (Golfette, Rings, Flags, Poles, Barrels). Even the adults get in on the action...fun for the whole family.

you'll have plenty of more chances - it happens to the best of us. Ü
