State Finals Barrel Racing

She practiced all winter in the community center.

She raced her barrels while I called out her location, racing pattern, and times.

We really didn’t know it was going to come in handy.

She made it to state, ya’ll. J

She rode her trusty gal and carried the stripes in the parade as a little gentleman sang the anthem.

She got coached up by her old man.

She kept the mare steady while in the chutes.

When the signal was given, she was off!

Maybe not in the right pattern, or on her side…but she was off!

Her time of 7.2 seconds won her a medal AND a blue ribbon!

She has vowed to do more patterns in the off season and make the Young Guns Rodeo next year.
