I've yet found time to share my experiences with you about my last two weeks as Miss Rodeo of the Ozarks. The weekend of June 19th was a crazy one! On that Thursday I represented my title and rode with the Rounders at the Siloam Rodeo. Olivia and I pulled up an hour early! Yep, first ones there but I would much rather have extra time instead of not enough. That was the first rodeo I was going to be
using two different horses so I wanted to be sure I ample opportunity to get them both cleaned, tacked and warmed up. It was a bit of a strech and a little hectic but both horses did a great job. There was a bobble in the rounders routine with a miscount on our wagon wheel turn but it was soon recovered. My favorite part of the rodeo was getting to visit with some of my Farm Credit Family as well as several other close family friends.
On Friday, after work, it was off to the Cassville, MO Rotary Rodeo. Rounders had a clean run! Cassville was pretty laid back and everyone really enjoyed it. After getting home around 1am I had to get everything in line for the following day. I woke up at 6am to feed, get myself ready and head to Westville, OK to judge the queen contest. The girls did a fantastic job and Star Griscom did an outstanding job hosting the 2nd Annual Contest. As soon as the judging portion ended it was home to load up and make a b-line for the opposite direction because it was back to Cassville, MO.
Cody carried the flag during the National Anthem and did a superb job! He has handled everything like such a champ. One thing I love about him is that he tries to give 110% at everything he does. We stayed for the rodeo that night and enjoyed a relaxed evening after a great run.
The following day it was back to Westville for judging the final portion of the queen contest. Star and her current girls presented the judges with the sweetest gift baskets full of sweet treats, a throw blanket, coffee cup and several other small gifts. The lunch that was provided was a delicous brisket smoked overnight!
PLEASE NOTICE: nowhere in the above rodeo appearances did I experience any type of major mishaps! For one of my last experiences with my title I finally made it through a weekend with safe travels and a 100% positive experience! We made it everywhere on time and had the horses did fantastic. God is so good!
