Agribition Day 4

Today was a short day for me. I got to sleep in. Mom and Dad went to the grounds for tie-ins and then came back for me. Then we did a little shopping and went back.

Today was the last day of the show so we'll be coming home tomorrow. The big thing today was the Beef Supreme championship. All of the breed winners show against each other along with the winners of each breed and a bunch of other shows. I couldn't get a real great picture but this is a taste of how big this whole thing is.

So anyway that was my excitement for the day. Well that and taking down the stalls which means lots of trips back and forth to the truck. Like I said tomorrow we head home.

Agribition Day 3

I'm writing this a day late because yesterday was a long day. By the time I got back to the hotel all I wanted to do was take a hot bath and go to bed.

So yesterday was our sale. I think it went fairly well. We had the high selling animal in the sale which was kind of nice. To me it sort of validates the choices that mom and dad have been making in their breeding program.

At some point during the day Mom and I wandered around a bit. All I could think about was how much pain there was in my feet. So when we got to the arena I insisted that we stop and watch a little bit. They were demonstrating Roman Riding, which is where you stand up on the back of two horses and ride around. It looked pretty dangerous to me, but then anything with horses usually is as far as I'm concerned.

Agribition Day One

We started out at 6:45 this morning for Regina. It was a really pleasant drive. Mom and I stopped at 3 Tim Horton's before we hit the Saskatchewan border. We had a little adventure (aka we got lost) on our way to the grounds but we eventually found the right place.

I didn't have a whole lot to do today until tie outs. Let me just say that I'm going to have to train harder if I'm going to do this Agribition thing again.

Now it's 10 o'clock and time for sleep seeing as how I have to get up at 6 tomorrow to get cattle ready for the show.
