I did an awesome engagement tonight and I can not wait to share it with you. I am in the middle of editing it here tonight with Oprah on the TV and my family fast asleep. I should NOT still be awake, but I want to share my weekend story with you…
So last week I was out of the office for a few days, and some of you guessed right, I was up in Idaho riding with my parents. But, it wasn’t the typical trip to go and ride, I was preparing for a big race this weekend in Farmington.
As many of you know I grew up riding and competing in Rodeos. I married my amazing husband when I was 19 years old and I honestly did not believe that my marriage was the demise to my rodeo career. HOWEVER, over the past 11 years of marriage I have only competed 1 time back in 1998. (WOW, I am old!)! So, I convinced my mom and dad to let me make a run for it! They have this great 5 year old horse that they have both been competing on who is still young but coming along really well. So, last Tuesday Ryen and I jumped in the car and ran up to my parents place in Idaho and did some practice runs and ran in a jackpot. It was a great time. Here are some pictures. More weekend info after the pics…
It was SOOO COLD!
Ryen Kitty Napped one of moms kittens because she did not want to leave them at the house while we were gone riding.
This is the 5 year old BJ
Some slow run patterning before the jackpot.

So, all went well at the Jackpot and I headed to Famington on Saturday to the big race. There were about 250 barrel racers. I did great my first day and knocked a barrel my second day, but ended up with this…
My husband videoed me on my mom’s camera and when I head home for Thanksgiving I will post that on my blog. I am not all that sure I want you all to see it, so I will have to do some previewing!
So, after the race on Sunday we ran down to see Dan’s family. We were not there 30 min when Ryen’s little cousins tried to lift her over a stair gate and they all went tumbling down! I knew right away there was a broken bone. So she has a couple of cracked bones in her leg… For the next 3 weeks this is our little Ryen!
So there is the story! I hope I didn’t talk too much. Amazing sessions to come!
Later!
