Friday evening was the Ariat Reining Cup and we had some friends in town to show for this competition. We were able to have lunch with them Friday (of course, they loved seeing Caylee!) and then when Matt got off work, we headed up to the competition.
Before the event started.. another one of the painted horses around town :) I'm bound and determined to get their picture with as many of these as I can--- Matt is less than thrilled :)
Playing and listening to the music before the event!
Watching the event.. Caylee did really well! She loved watching the horses run fast, but she especially watched when the ladies came out in all their bling. Their sparkly shirts definitely caught her eye.
Before Shawn showed (he was the last to go). His wife Michele and oldest son Cody.
Caylee riding her first horse (Wimp's Chocolate Chip) with Shawn... Shawn won the whole event too!! Caylee only rides with the best :)
She wasn't so sure about touching the horse's mane, but given that it was already an hour past her bedtime she was doing really well!!! And yes, she once again has no socks or shoes on... we really only have dress shoes and socks fell off as soon as we got inside the arena. Luckily we were indoors, so it really didn't matter too much.
So that was Caylee's first horse show with her Daddy and first horse ride. She enjoyed it and did really well the entire night, even with all the noise and it being so late for her. The Rolex went on for 2 more days, but we didn't go to any other events, maybe another year because I would love to see the cross-country where the horses jump over logs and streams and such.
