Well this weekend was a quit the exciting rodeo weekend. Thursday afternoon my mother and I traveled up the the highline to Chinook Montana for the Bear Paw Roundup. Thursday night Megan, Vanessa, my mom, and I all went to the Silver Spur Dinner, where we were introduced and got to speak for a brief second and they also held the Calcutta that evening.
The next day was the first day of the rodeo and I was very excited to be back in my old hometown and see all of my old friends. My cousin Savannah Smith was also gracious enough to let my borrow her palomino reining horse, "Forest". I got to carry the Canadian flag in the grand entry and do the Canadian National Anthem. The heat was amazing that weekend and Friday night I think the heat got to me and I got a little sick at the rodeo.
Saturday night was a little better. I felt a lot better and the heat wasn't as bad. We had a good size crowd for the kiddie rodeo and the rodeo went smoothly. Megan and I are becoming Pro cattle pushers and this time all of the cowboys and cowgirls made it to their victory laps!!
Early the next morning Megan, Merylee, and I got up early and were out of Chinook at 6:45 a.m. on our way to Augusta. I had never been to the Augusta Rodeo and wow was it an experience. We arrived around 10:00 a.m. and signed some autographs at a local store called Latigo and Lace. We later met up with Jody and headed down to the rodeo grounds. The Heckman's were gracious enough to let me borrow one of their horses. I rodeo Hannah Heckman's, Little Miss Big Sky Pro Rodeos horse, "Snoop". He was a beautiful black horse and sure looked flashy with my chaps.
After the rodeo Megan and I left Augusta, which was packed with tons of people and headed for Bozeman. We stopped in Helena for dinner and then made our way down to Bozeman. I stayed with Megan Sunday night, and then early the next morning made my way over to MSU-Bozeman for Freshman Orientation.
My next rodeo is in Vaughn this weekend and then on Sunday I head over to Red Lodge for the the 4Th of July and I am very excited for that and to help out with their pageant the following weekend!!
Until then,
