This photo is what could have been. If that loop would have kept going we would be on our way to Gallup, New Mexico. He would have won the round and placed high in the Average. But as fate would have it the loop didn't go around and we didn't go to Gallup. As a parent this is so hard to watch but deep down before we even left I knew that because of our Faith not Fate we would not be going to Gallup this summer. Earlier in the season I would have told you a different story but because of life and circumstance I knew we were not going. I find comfort in knowing he has all the talent in the world to go just for reasons unknown to us at this time he is not going.
What matters more than going to Gallup is having such a great support team whether you are loosing or winning they are there or on the phone getting an instant replay.
Luck would have it that Torri Mackelprang and Zeak qualified in Delta 2 weeks before State and caught once at State. That was a perfect ending to a rough team roping year.
One away from the top 10 in Ribbon Roping was awesome. We were on the edge of our seats waiting to see what the results of this team event was going to be. Shaylynn was exactly where she needed to be every time. I think Amy bribing Zeak with cinnamon rolls if he caught was the trick he hasn't missed since Delta. So we will start the bribe early next year and hope to go to the top 10 and on to the top 4 next June.
As tradition would have it we ended the day with a trip to Granny's for a shake with Grandpa and Grandma. It was a fun year at State. We are taking the summer off and gearing up for 2012-2013.
