Welcome to the Delaney Rose blog...

Delaney was born January 27, 2010 at 3:09 pm on a snowy Gunnison day. She was 14 weeks premature and weighed 1 pound 15 ounces. We survived 80 days in Grand Junction at St. Mary's NICU, and finally made it home the third week in April. We created this blog while living in GJ so that our friends and family could stay up to date on Delaney's progress. We plan to maintain the site and post when we can, so please enjoy!

Another Gymkhana






The second Gymkhana of the summer. As you can see from some of the pictures, Meredith has taken the next step and pretty much went through this one on her own. Brandon rode in front of her to help guide Molly the mule, but Meredith was at the helm otherwise. This time, a few new events showed up, including a goat-tying event. The younger kids (7 & under) had to ride up to the goat and untie a ribbon from it's tail. We let Merry ride Sky for that event because Molly had blood in her eye once she saw the goat (mules are not to be taken lightly when they get in defense mode, and Molly hasn't seen many goats in her day). Can't wait to see Merry actually flank the goat and tie it up in a few years; then we'll know we have a stockwoman on our hands.
