June CUJR Rodeo

Cowboy Camping
Our first calf ride was a rough one. Casy and Wendy came over a few nights before the rodeo and had a little chat with Jake so he decided he would give calf riding a whirl. I thought for sure we all had an understanding that he would have all of the proper safety gear on before leaving the chute. Well that is what I get for trusting that my child would be taken care of and staying behind the stop watch. This is what happens when you don't wear a helmet and safety vest. He toughened up and finished the rodeo thanks to Cole's grandma for getting him some Tylenol and band aids and grandma Barnhurst for giving him lots of loves. The next day Uncle Steve suited him up in Wes and Tel's gear and he won the rodeo in calf riding.
With a battle wound you get lots of attention this is Jake's Pit crew. Who knew racing barrels and poles required so much help? We have an awesome family who are so supportive and willing to help our kids while we help judge & time. It takes a village to raise cowboys. Thanks everyone for your help.
Zeak is tying down calves I won't say he is to little but maybe to young. He is doing great and he has some great friends who are willing to share their calf horses with us Thanks Troy and Shane. Troy's horse Jane is 32 (that is reallllly old in horse years) and she LoVes to rope calves she is great for Zeak to learn on. Looks like I am going to need to get a job or sale lots more vinyl because calf horses are not cheap to make or buy.
The BOYS!!! Need I say more?
