On Sunday, (June 26th) the K. family from IN, drove Kaitlyn back home. Steve, Karen, Amelia, and Autumn stayed with us for three days and on Monday evening we took them to a local Amish Rodeo. Every Monday night throughout the summer the riders practice barrel racing, pole bending, and cattle herding, among other events. Then in September the "BIG RODEO" happens, where the riders compete for ribbons and prizes. The rodeo is only about two miles from our house, so Amelia, Kaitlyn, Lillia, Hope, Autumn, Joy, and Elainah walked. Well, Joy and Elainah really rode on Amelia and Kaitlyn's backs. :)
Cattle Herding.
Three riders go out to the herd at the other end of the
arena. The announcer calls out a number and they have to find the
three cattle that have that number on their backs. Then the riders herd
the three cattle into the corral, (shown above) Some teams got them all
in the corral in less than 35 seconds!
This little cutie was in the barn with its mother.
Isn't it adorable? It is probably not over two feet tall!
David had fun watching the horsies.
