Special Olympics

Shortly after the beginning of the year, we attended as a group the Sun Circuit Horse Show where competitors all over the country compete with their beautiful and well trained quarter horses in all disciplines.

We spent most of the time watching the reining competition since this discipline best represents the type of riding we do.  We spent the week at the show and had a great turn out.  Here is a picture of our Saturday participants watching and learning!!!

In February, Gene, our landlord, donated his horse Grey.  I am so thankful for this horse because he is big......and super sweet.    He serves a great purpose for us for those that want to just cruise around on a horse in the arena.    Here is a picture of Grey.

On March 10th, Gene asked us if we would participate in a Special Olympic's event that the Maricopa County Sheriff Posse was supporting.    We brought six horses and had about 24 adults from the ministry and a handful of kids that went to help out.

The pictures are worth a thousand words!!  It was such a blessing for us to be involved in such an event.
