Videos will be made into a little production.
This was a little thing that my barn's been putting on for a few years I guess. (I moved there less than a year ago) All the kids who take lessons there on the lesson horses or on their own horses get to participate. We had a some fun classes and relays and a costume class. I'll give a summary of the day with the pics.
First class I did was the Ride a Buck- Walk, trot, canter. They put a $1 bill between our calf and the horse and whoever had the buck longest won. I was unlucky either way because they put the buck on our left side, and my left ankle won't flex as well which leads to not as strong grip. If we did the other side we'd be tracking left, which Solo won't flex on. I after just posting and sitting trot I couldin't see my buck so I stoped and turned in to the middle. I really was shocked I lost it that soon! Almost 1/2 the people had the buck stuck in the saddle, including the 2nd place winner. At the end I dismounted and lead Solo into the isle for the next rider. I went to run up my stirrups and my buck was stuck there under the leathers! :eek: :eek: The head trainer felt so bad and insists on giving me a second place prize even though I keep refusing.

I know I should be a bit infront of the verticle but they were'nt judging EQ today.

The next class I was in was theAdvanced Barn Bum Triathalon- Move-in-if-I-Could Type
We had a poop scooping contest, and I only got 70% of the poop.
Second we took apart a bridle all the way and were blindfolded with polo wraps and had to race to put them back together. I got the bit all attached but then I got really confused. I was 3rd but since mine was so messed up I was 4th in that. It was really fun and everyone was laughing really hard. Last was to hand walk a horse and then put their feet in a tub to "soak" and put on pillow wraps then hand walk them again. I lost that too but it was fun.
