February started
off with a bang at the Bearspaw Arena, which is owned by
our First Nation neighbors. There was a
horsemanship clinic in the morning, attended by over 20
horses and riders. Ruth Fowler put everyone through
their paces and everyone came away with some more
knowledge.
Following Pot Luck
lunch, the Competition started off with the Amateur
division, with 19 entries. This event was won for the
second year in a row, by Robyn Neufeld. She was awarded
a headstall, donated by Cunningham Farrier
Service.
The open division
featured 11 riders, who showed off their many
interesting skills. Also, for the second year, this
event was won by Tim Neufeld, on his talented gray mare.
He was presented with a pair of brass bound stirrups
made by Tony Smith. Second place, and winning a saddle
blanket, donated by Cunningham Farrier Service, was our
Pastor Bryn.
There were four
small fry who also rode. We saw these kids cowboy up,
and we had all better take notice. There will be some
SERIOUS competition in the future. Bailey won the hearts
of everyone there and won the Fan’s Choice award
presented by Canadian Cowboy Country Magazine.
