Oh Well . . . Just For Fun

When moving to the new house, we gained several horses as neighbors.  The eldest grand-daughter wanted to learn about horses and to ride.  I suggested she ask the neighbor if she could exchange labor for riding lessons.  As it turned out, the neighbor runs a 4-H club dealing with horse care and riding.

The county fair started last weekend and runs through this week.  Today I snuck away from work to watch the 4-H horse showmanship competition.  As a beginner, she did exceptionally well.  The club leader thought she might have even won, until the results were announced.

As it turned out, when getting the horse to back-up, her hand accidentally touched the horse.  That was enough to drop her out of the top 5.  Bummer.
