My boy's first equine competition.

He spent most of the summer with my sister and her husband in Arkansas. They work for some horse trainer out there, so he's been helping out feeding, cleaning stalls, and working horses. They entered him in the buckle class at an NCHA cutting in Gainesville, yesterday. He just turned 12. First competition. Placed second. I was pretty impressed, especially knowing how nervous and hard on himself he can be in situations like this.

Very well done. Congrats to your son Sneaky.

Yeah, the horse looked good.

And no, I've made it clear I'm not buying any horses. His grandma and aunt have that handled.

Congrats to your son!

Thanks.

Congrats. I was suppose to haul my youngest to a playday yesterday but the arena was still too wet. A kid can learn alot messing with horses.

Well done!

Man that's great

Congrats to him!!!

Congrats! I showed cutters and it is addicting!

By the way, he scored a 64. Not bad at all.

Getting a horse is like marrying a high maintenance woman. Even though her dad gets to pay for the wedding he gets off easy. The purchase part is only the beginning.

I used to to tell people that wanted a horse to get a backhoe and dig a hole out back and every day throw 20 bucks into it.And I know from experience from wife and daughter showing. It is a expensive hobby.But they loved it so what can you say.

Very impressive!

congrats to the young sneaky. He worked well with the horse.looked like an old pro

No kidding.

He has a lot of natural talent and love for all things horses. His younger brother is eat up with it, too. I fear what the future holds.

Fine bit of riding there Sneaky. Congrats to your boy.

Good to see your boy doing that its awesome!! that can be a very expensive hobby! i tell people all the time if they dont have a use for a horse dont get one but some never understand what the meaning of that really is!

Awesome, congratulations to your son.

Like I said, you WILL be in the "hoss bidness" soon.....

Congratulations to your Son, Sneak.

Great job

Congrats. But I have to say, I'm surprised you have a kid that young, I figured you were at least 80.

You're not the first one.
