Kids gymkhana last night

[Country Girl 43]

Are you ready for this.... :)

After we got back from our camping trip the kids had a gymlhana to go to, so we hooked up the 2 horse trailer, loaded Missy, a saddle and some water and off to the arena we went.

Hubby saddled Missy..... that was fun to watch... he has no idea what he is doing....LOL...ouch!

Missy was being a snot. After all she had been up in the mountians on a highline for 3 days and not being worked, so she was pretty fresh. I "tried" to ride her for the kids, but that lasted all of 2 minutes.

Chy had to ride first and Missy was acting up so bad. Then Nico rode and she was getting worse. Both kids did great keeping her down, but I could see a blow up coming. A friend of mine was there... the same one that was camping with me.... when she saw Missy act up with Nico on the second run she grabbed Missy told Nico to get off and she rode the snot out of Missy.

She asked me how I warm Missy up before the kids get on and I told her I make her sweaty! Well she got Missy nice a sweaty and warmed up and Missy was an angel the rest of the night. :) Both kids ended up placing mostly 3rd all night long and Nico got second place on one run after Missy started using the thinking side of her brain... LOL (ouch)

So THAT is how our week officially ended! I couldn't let my kids miss their points because mom is banged up... LOL (ouch!)

Congrats to the kids and kudos to your good friend to make sure Missy was Snot free.
Your a good mother to follow though for your kids and their activities. Now take two beers and a pain pill and things will be fine in a 20 minutes.

Glad the kids had a good time.
Is that the same friend that is going to ride the horses while you are down?
You know how I feel about you being injured. Your broke and need to heal.
The kids can wait a week or two ya know. You are always on the go for everyone, now take time for you.
And have that beer and more meds...lol

Glad the kids did well in spite of everything, and that you had someone there who could ride some sanity into Missy!

Now, like everyone's saying, take some time out to get yourself better!

LOL Miatapony.... There are 2 gymkhanas a month. The one the kids went to was for kids ONLY. No adults. They kids are really doing well and have some good point standings, so I didn't want them to miss it.

The gymkhana coming up this Saturday is for both kids AND adults. My kids haven't been doing as well in this one. But I have and it sucks that I won't be able to ride. :( I hope this doesn't hurt my standings at the end of the year!
