The Showdeo!

I know you are wondering "What in the world is a 'Showdeo'?" Well, the Calvary Chapel out here has an Equestrian Ministry and they host a big horse show and BBQ every year on a members property. We had been looking forward to this for a couple weeks and we were not disappointed!


It was a total blast. There were lots of people there, but it was so quiet. There were all kinds of horses to ride. The kid enjoyed watching the guy do a horses hooves. Tom was fascinated.


Jake was a natural at roping.


Tom got to ride a horse that is trained without a bit. He was able to get her to turn and back up.


Jake got to ride a huge draft horse named Zeus. He is a natural rider. The horses love them.


Nikki really enjoyed being able to ride a bit and pet and hug all the horses.


The BBQ was good. And there was a raffle that we didn't win. :( The finale was a "barrel race". The boys were standing on barrels and trying to walk on them. Now we need to get a couple of barrels to practice on!

That looks like fun. I grew up going to rodeos and such, so this brings back memories.
