The first of two Gymkhanas this summer and boy was it hot and dusty. The horrendous drought is making everything miserable and after today we all have a good case of brown lung from all the dust. Meredith started off riding Molly the mule this go-round, but switched midway through to Grandma Sky horse. We're still working through the events on a lead-line but Merry is on the verge of reining through on her own. Gymkhanas are a lot of fun; we just wish there were more of them throughout the summer so that we could get more practice in. There are usually a variety of events, from barrel racing to the egg race (have to race your horse to the finish line without dropping your egg). Merry did a great job- it's amazing how far she's come recently with her confidence around equines.
