And the Winner is...

Day 10/365

My little Sis!! We had our OBRA awards ceremony today. OBRA is the 4-D Barrel Racing Association that Mom, Lena, Alissa, and I compete in. Even though we already new that Lena had won in 4-D, it was still exciting for her to finally get her saddle.

She had to fight hard to win this. She and Leroy were running consistent times until about half way through the season. Then she starting losing weight. With the load a little lighter, Leroy started speeding up. Lena tried just not pushing him so she would still qualify in 4-D, but they were still running a little fast. The last several competitions, she was actually having to hold him back through most of the run.

My mom placed second in 2-D behind my sister-in-law Lucinda. Alissa placed second in 2-D youth (we really thought she had won, but I guess we miss figured on the points). I started off late and my little horse is pretty green but we still managed to get 7th place in 4-D.
