Amazing Rodeo Weekend

So, last weekend we had kids rodeoing in two different locations again.  Chantelle was up in Bassett two days and Ty decided to go to Taylor on Saturday, mainly so he could get to rope with his new team roping partner again before the Jr High season starts later in September.   All of us but Ty headed up to Bassett late Friday night.   Saturday morning I got up and headed to Taylor to meet up with Ty and watch him compete while Ryan stayed with Chantelle in Bassett.

My mom and Arden also travelled to Bassett to cheer on Chantelle while my dad and Linda met me in Taylor to watch Ty.    Chantelle's pole horse came up lame so she had to draw out of poles for the weekend.  She missed her breakaway calves but her and Charmane ended up 9th in the team roping on Saturday.

Ty started out the day with poles, won that event.  Cool.  Taylor awards buckles for first place in each event so we knew we wouldn't be going home empty handed.  Next came Breakaway Roping.  Won that.  Nice!   Then Calf Roping, yep, won that too.   Then barrel racing, first place again.  We were all in shock.  Wow, what a day.  Finally it was time for team roping.   Ty and Austin went out and had a really nice run.  Caught their steer in 10.19 to win that event too.   Ty ended up with 5 new belt buckles and was awarded the All Around Trophy too!   I am so proud of him.  He works so hard practicing every day, he truly deserved and earned his buckles.

After Ty got all of his awards I headed back to Bassett.  Ty came later after he took his horses home.  He had competed on his new horse that he bought a few weeks ago for the first time. 
Chantelle had enjoyed being back in the rodeo scene and seeing all her friends again.  She enjoyed the night life and well into the morning life!   Now we are all back home getting ready to do it all over again next weekend and the following 7 weekends after that!
