Paige's First Gymkhana

Paige competed in her first Gymkhana this year and she had a blast! We weren't there to root her on (I'll explain in the next post), but both sets of grandparents were there to help and support - thank goodness!




She did a total of five events including barrels, poles, tire race, balloon race, and the water race, three of which she had never seen until the day she arrived. Impressive! She worked really hard practicing and loved every minute of it. She didn't win anything due to all the professional kids that make this rodeo part of their circuit, but we were all soooo proud of how hard she tried.

Here's she's keeping her eye on the next barrel.


She's holding a cup of water that she had to bring back to the finish line with her.


This is the first side of pole bending.


We are really glad she had such a fun time with such a great horse. Great job Sis!!
