Barrel Racing

Last night, while the boys hunted, I had the opportunity to attend a Jackpot Barrel Race with the Richters.  It was amazing fun, and, since I've never really been to any sort of horse show, it was very interesting.  I was able to get some pictures, though I'm afraid that they are not the best quality ever.  :)

I took this about ten minutes or so before the actual competition began while everyone was getting their horses accustomed to the arena.

I was pretty close to where they were running, so I was nearly hit by flying dirt more than once when they made the turn.

I had some fun with the kids who did not want their picture taken!  :)

Yes, we took turns wearing Mr. Richter's cowboy hat.  :)
