Any day that puts kids, horses, doughnuts, and warm sunny weather together is a good one and Saturday was a good one for the Rooftop Rodeo Royalty practice horsemanship clinic. This spring, we’ve been experiencing the typical roller coaster ride of snowy days followed by sun and warmth. The only constant being the wind.

Well, Saturday morning turned out to be a gift for us all—sun, no wind and temperatures warm enough to have everyone shucking off their jackets by 10:00. The icing on the cake was a morning flyover by an American bald eagle. What a treat to see that!

After literally running through (on foot) the riding pattern, the kids mounted up for a day of riding and coaching. We are blessed to have supportive parents and members of the committee that knows their stuff. Kim, Liz and Emily were full of good information, fun and enthusiasm, Kassi was a great hostess, and Sean, Rick and Sandy was a terrific supporters. I believe we're catching rodeo fever!
Many thanks to out to our hardy Rooftop Rodeo Royalty horsemanship instructors, committee folks, parents, kids, and horses. It was a one windy day. Despite their noble efforts and a box of chocolate doughnuts, the session ended around noon—they just could take it anymore. Guess we missed the better weather in the valley—evidently; the Miss Rodeo Colorado prelims had pretty nice weather.
