Wilson Butte 4-H Club Trail Ride: 2009

Woo hooo! The Extreme rail ride, Saturday October 10 at Blackstock Ranch, to Benifit Mike Dines, longtime 4-H Supporter, went well and everyone had fun!!!!!! Not as many people as we hoped for but we ended up with $4000 for Mike! No amblance runs either!. Had a bunch of fun games planned, but no entry's in the 13 & under games. Which was a bummer as Ginger Loucks club bought the trophy's and participation ribbons. They are going to have a potato feed here for Mike November 7th and we're going to see if we can do some of the games there to give out the trophys? Obsticles that I thought would bug horse's did not and other things did. Teds horse about lost him at the bridge and he giggled threw the next obsticle, My horse did a U turn when Jody blew the air horn and he thought it was the goat! :)))))) but there was some speedie runs!!! 2:30 ~ 3:00 minutes. Mine how ever was not in that range!I can hardly wait untill we get everyone's pictures together and do a CD.It was cool as Mike's daughter, Carrie won the jackpot and Melissa Jayo got 3rd.
