Gymkhana ~ My little Cowgirls!!!

Even Daddy got involved!
Our horse, Bobbie, is starting to get and look old.....
She is so gentle with the girls.

The teenagers love our spunky horse, Annie.
They ran he all night long, taking turns going on rides.
Jon and Austin with their friends and cousin, Alex, Becca and Amanda.
Charlotte took First place with her time in racing barrels!
She was so proud! She even did it by herself!

Kalicia was so proud of her third place ribbon.

Caroline's 1st time running barrels in the 2 yr. olds' age group.
She played with her first ribbon and wasn't interested in posing for a picture.
She took 4th in her age group.



Charlotte and Kalicia even figured out how to get on Bobbie all by themselves. They would push her up against the fence, while Bobbie just looked back at them wondering what they were doing to her, then she would move sideways up against the fence. Then the girls would climb the fence and get on. I was so proud of them and was entertained watching them.
