So we hope everyone has been doing well, we have certainly been busy this summer and have a few more things to tell about. First we finally bit the bullet and did the first rides on our horses Emma took it like a champ even trotting around the round pen before the day was done. Istu was a little more confused. He is really great with his ground work and is not really afraid of much but the going forward was a little hard to translate. We did get him going after a time and he seems to be picking it up better, he would just rather stand then go anywhere right now. We are sure that will change as he loves to run around the pasture at top speeds with his buddys. We also went to Cheyenne Frontier Days on Saturday where we went to the rodeo and did a behind the chutes tour. Were we got to pose in front of the bucking chutes in the arena, pretty sweet.
Our seats were pretty good and the weather cooperated so we did not get totally fried. The misters they installed did help alot and kept us comfortable, though a little wet. The rodeo was really good. We got to see Trevor Brazille rope on his horse Texaco, however the rope broke and he got a no time for the tie down roping, though he did qualify for the team roping and steer roping. We took some pictures and Derek was able to get a panoramic view of the stadium for the most part. So take a look, some of the pictures are a little foggy, but that is from the misters keeping us cool. We hope you are all doing well!
Love
Derek and Nichole
