On May
10th 2008, the Hardy souls from CTC gathered
at the Bearspaw arena for the Annual Dog Trials. This
Year we were planning to add some Teamster Events, but
due to the HUGE snowfall in the outlying areas, those
events were cancelled.
The Dog Trials and
Stock Horse events started at 2:30 in the
afternoon.
We had the Fearless
Leader setting the pace, and he was followed by riders
of all ages on horses ranging from barely broke to
seasoned show horses.
Gordy supplied the
cattle, and they were a spirited little herd at
times.
There were
adventures in the stands as well as some of the
“fearsome” young ones were caught ambushing the good-
hearted Arnold.
Some practiced
roping on the mechanical roping dummy set up in the
front entrance.
Two of the young
men got down and dirty and were quite proud of their new
look.
The evening
concluded with the traditional Pot Luck supper , and as
usual the cooks in our midst outdid themselves. This was
followed by a concert featuring two of the Kamloops
Cowboy Festival “Rising Star” winners, Jesse Fowler and
Matt Robertson. Terri Mason judged the event and
provided us with some Cowgirl humor by entertaining us
with some of her poetry.
