Horse Events



The end of May brought a fun week filled with horse events for Chloe.  On our way home from Jamie's graduation Chloe was able to attend a horse-riding camp in Colby with the Colby Community College Equestrian Team.  This was brought to her attention through our 4-H club and she knew another family in attendance.  It was a great day of horse fun for her.  Everything from basic riding to riding a horse while balancing an egg on a spoon, painting a horse, and labeling a horse with sticky notes.  Royce stayed for the camp and it sounds like it was a perfect, fun-filled day for the kids.

Chloe also got to ride in a horse show that took place in Walker, KS.  A local saddle club hosted the show at a personal arena and Megan & Justin brought Goble for Chloe to ride.  She had such a great time with her cousins Carlee and SenaKay during the two-day show. 
 
SenaKay escorted Chloe during her first two events.  It was probably a good thing that she did because stakes and flags require the horse getting pretty close to the barrel. 




 
After the first two events Chloe did two more events on her own!  She even placed in them since she didn't have any assistance.  Chloe was so proud, and I was so grateful for all of the support she got, encouraging her to go on her own. 


Day two was D I R T Y .  Ekkkk.  Windy and dirty. 
But Chloe rode in three events on her own and again, did very well in them and placing.
