I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. May God be with you and your loved ones now and through the new year to come.

Today the Frontier Belles rode at the Rifle Rondevous. It was my first show since I joined the club, and it was so much fun. I cann't wait til practice on Monday. But back to today, we did our drill so well and the patterns we ran were great and in sync. I know we will only get better and we will get into our full drill because we only did our mini drill today. I am excited about the rest of the summer practices and shows.

Yesterday we moved some cattle and their calves. We had a great time, it has been years since I worked around any cattle. We had a couple rodeos, first my cousin's horse did a little crow hopping and then Chancie decided she needed to rear a couple times. I was very proud of Chancie she did very well, the only cattle she has been around are the cattle that would live across the road in the summer. Garrett got into moving the cattle, he was on a 4 wheeler til some calves started taking off so he got off and moved them back to their mamas. Then he kept them with their mamas on foot. He is a tough kid cause he did a face plant over a fence he didn't see, but he knew his job and bounced right back up and got after those calves. Naomi was in the truck with my cousin's husband that had the trailer on it for the calves that were to small to walk. She meant another little girl when we got to the corrals and they played for a while. We had a great day!!!

I most of the time live in New Castle that is where I get my mountain photos. I still have my house in Sterling and that is where my heart is. Some day I will get to move back there. The important thing is to have my horse with me.

Since I moved over here my horse has been 280 miles away and now she is coming to live at a place that is only 90 miles away I get to see her every weekend. Plus I am joining a riding club.
