Brenda is now the proud owner of "Doc". I'll post some pictures as soon as I get some. Speaking of pictures, Stephanie Moon (photographer extraordinaire in case you don't know her--www.stephaniemoonphoto.com), came and took a lot of pictures of Rio on Tuesday. I can't wait to see how they turned out. Rio was running around the paddock with her head held high, posing like a supermodel. The weather cooperated for once.
We also worked on loading Doc into Brenda's trailer that night. Although he is a very calm horse, he was not a big fan of getting into the trailer. He didn't really rear or dance around like some horses do when they don't want to get it. He really just sort of stood there stubbornly. No amount of pulling or butt-tapping seemed to work. Finally, we found a system that worked and we got him in and out of the trailer several times. PHEW!
Extreme Cowboy Race Wrap Up
We got our score sheets in the mail the other day along with the final rankings of the participants. We are proud to report that officially we were TWELFTH, yes that is TWELFTH!
We were really 14 based on the first round..two riders were disqualified in the finals. (see my note below). Even though they placed the rider that fell off in the finals, they ended up retracting that and restacking the placings. Still...four away from the top ten...not bad for such a chicken. I am VERY proud of our performance.
Check it out here if you liked to see us in all our glory...good parts and not so good parts and yes, we were really that slow...slowest of the day!
