4-H Playday

The kids had a blast at the playday. All day Tuesday, Kaegen kept asking when is the playday? We took 3 horses. One for Tim, one for Kreek and one for Kaegen. Well it turned out the horse Kreek was going to use (Woodrow) was acting a little bad and bucked some with Tim, so we decided to let them both us the same horse (Nine-O). Kaegen was the 3rd to go, so after she was done we would hurry up and change saddles, then Kreek was around number 8. After he was done we would hurry up and change saddles again because there was only about 12 people riding. After it was over, I was exhausted and felt like we were so rushed, but we survived. Tim ended up riding Woodrow and helping Kaegen. She was a little scared at first, but by the end she was riding Nine-O all by herself.


I was trying to video and take pictures at the same time, so I didn't get too good of pictures, but their is still 3 more playdays in the future. I did get good ones of Kaegen because Kreek was videoing for me and that helped alot.



First up was the barrels. Only got pictures of Kaegen because I was too busy videoing and yelling at Kreek because he was doing the pattern wrong. Oops.







Next, was the flag race. Woodrow did not like the flag and Tim could not get Kaegen close enough to reach the flag, so they just trotted on back.







At first, Nine-O did not like the flag, but finally Kreek scooped down and got the flag.







Next was the pole bending. Kaegen actually led the horse all by herself and followed Tim.








Again not a good picture of Kreek at all.




Last event was the goat ribbon pulling. They actually held the goat for you so it was too easy. Kaegen led the horse all by herself and Tim walked in front. He helped her off the horse and she ran to the goat and got the ribbon and ran across the finish line.





Kreek finally got Nine-O to lope.

Well this will probably be the last post for awhile. Our Sheffield Church Camp starts on Saturday and goes thru the 28th. Then we will be in Kerriville for the 4th of July, so I am not sure when I will post again.
