Roping again

Started roping again the other day. Me and Brady spent an hour or so sorting through the heiffers and catching a few in the snow and cold. It took a good while though before my hand started acting something resembling normal, lets just say there was a whole lot of re-coiling the rope going on ;) After a bit the feeling started coming back some and we landed a fair share of loops. Didn't try anything fancy but a couple of houliahans and a scoop-loop found its mark. I did have `em in the trap though so that surely kept the procentage up!

Kick The Cat's been off for a few day's. We vaccinated a bunch of them and she got a little temp. Also decided to pull her shoes as she's not handling spikes very well. Will get back after it tonight.

Looking at some stud prospects again, and it's driving Annelie nuts! I can't blame her really, we're not exacly a wealthy bunch but still, it's fun to look. Have a couple of prospects lined up but might have to sell a filly to bring the deal home!

Cirkel Y Derby result:

Shawn Hays & CGS Starscommand won the derby scoring a composite 445,5. A great fencework netted a 151 by the 2 judges and led him past Lyn Anderson's 444 combined score. Lyn had an outstanding fencework herself on Tuckers Smart Cat bringing the house down with a 152, good enough for a reserve championship.
