Well my van full of Roughies headed up to Lac La Biche this weekend-not very often we head north to a rodeo-it's beautiful country up there-just grass,lakes, bush and cows. Saturday was good-the boys entered a two head jackpot plus the regular rodeo. Ty got a bareback horse first and took the lead-then Jesse covered his first horse ever and rolled into second-the best was yet to come Landon got on his first bronc EVER and covered it to grab third. The novice horse riding was next-Ty got rolled into his hand and bucked off but Jesse covered another one and took the lead in it. Ty got on a horse in the open saddle bronc and was sitting second after Saturday. Sunday was good too-Ty covered his second jackpot horse to win it-everybody else bucked off so the Meadow Lake boys got to split $1,000. Jesse won a set of spurs for winning the Novice and Ty won a set for the jackpot. The next event was the Wild Ride-Austin pimped himself out and gathered up $500 in it. The horses were awesome-the contractor raised the barebackhorse of the NFR last year and he brought all his 3/4 year olds to town. The boys climbed on every turn out and exhibition they could -I think it was over 20 head for the weekend. Austin topped it off by doing a poem over the mic-it was a fun time in the Lac La Biche mud lol.
 
Good for the boys!!!!! :D You weren't too far from us again this weekend,we were in Ft. McMurray for the rescue competition.

Give Ty and Austin a high five for me and hopefully will see Landon ride if you make Hardisty.
 
Glad to hear things are going good. Haven't had time to post but I have been keeping up on the rodeo's. Hope you continue with the updates.

have a cold one

lazy ace
 
Nothing like the look on a kids face when he twists his first bronc-makes all the miles worth it. Mrs. greg Austin did his 'Montana Moonlight' poem over the mic at the rodeo lol.

:D Lots of chuckles from the crowd I bet,and a red face for Landon.


Hopin all goes great with Ty's knee!!!!!!
 
Were pulling out of here on 7/16 and should be getting to Farmington on 7/18 or 19th. Were travelling with a goat tyer and her parents so our schedule will depend on how her pony travels. Just trying to figure out which route to take-I'm kind of an interstate hater myself.
 
Dont know anything about the facilities in Farmington, I have never been there. Our place is just south of the Colorado Border about 45 miles south of Raton. If you take I25 you will come right by but I think there are some shorter routes if you cut across the mountains in Colorado and come in by Durango and that way. We are about a 4 or 5 hour drive to Farmington from our place as you have to go almost all the way to Albquerque and then turn back to the northwest, there really isnt a good way to get to Farmington from anywhere. :roll:
 
Boy you live in some nice country-you don't need some elk thinned out this fall do you. I'm just hitching a ride this trip so it depends on the timies were travelling with. I'll run it by them though.
 
We have just a few elk that run in a big circle between us and some neighbors. We only get a few permits each year, we have more pronghorn antelopes than elk or deer. Might not have much hunting but I could sure have fun showing you some of the country side.
