Last Night's Practice Session

Good Day. I realize I posted 3 times already today but I need to get them for my E.L.A. project so in this post I am going to talk randomly about my rope session last night. So last night we went to go roping and we had to sort calves off the cows in a foot and a half of mud. My brilliant sister tried to grab one by the neck and she got drug around. It was really funny because she went through the deepest mud and like disappeared at times. Then the calf stepped on her and ripped a strip of skin off her back about a foot long! We got the calves in the arena at my uncle's farm. My cousin Shane, also my instructor, showed up and we roped some calves. I didn't have the greatest session because I missed my first calf which is the most important. After that I caught the rest but I still wasn't happy with it. My horse worked pretty good though. That is a good thing because he cost me a lot of money and I bought him from Shane. He is black and his name is Rolex. I really like him! Usually works really awesome for me. Anyways Sky and Boe went roping with us and they had a pretty good night but not great. Shane had  a terrible night because things weren't clicking for him. It was the first time he roped calves since the tragic accident in our family and I think it probably had something to do with it. It was an okay night had by all. Hopefully ready for the weekend now because we leave tonight. Chat at you later!

  1. Was your sister alright? Sounds like a pretty bad night for her. So with this rodeo this weekend, how much more is left in the high school rodeo season? And how are you doing overall in it? What was your goal and how has the season measured up to your expectations?
    Good luck!
