Saturday morning... Halfpint and I did some Yoga breathing before her performance and I encouraged Penelope get that goat like killing snakes, not picking tullips, as I slapped Tilly on the rump entering the arena.
Penelope won a Reserve Champion Buckle for Goat Tying at the FBFR Series Rodeo. This is her second buckle. The first was 5 years ago in the stick horse race. I was proud of her then.. but even more proud of her now. She is becoming an awesome little competitor on her pony Tilly. She is the queen of second place this summer.
Halfpint, as you all know, has been practicing her trick-riding on her pony, Boss. She has wanted to "perform" all summer. We gave her the chance at the family rodeo Saturday. She did it... stood up and carried the American Flag during the National Anthem. She was nervous and scared... but she is a gamer and did a wonderful job... so proud of her!
All their riding and practicing paid off, and we are very proud of them both! GREAT JOB GIRLS!

You are a good mama! I'm afraid if my daughter were standing on a horse I'd have to put a helmet and pads on her! :)
I was so tickled to get to see both of those and all the rest last Sat. Girls did a great job and I know they will be planning for next year and thanking you for making them practice. By the way I see you in the background and you did look alittle nervous! Love, MOM
