tournament finals, day 2

Day 2 of the tournament was similar time scheduled but he weather was fantastic from getting up, sun and no wind. Sheldon and I loaded up the duck blue dresser to take along and give to the buyers then Britt and I walked to the far side to catch the horses laying in the sunshine. Again we were out the gate by 10.

Britt had to ump the first game so she was off quickly tacking up Pepper. Brad and Shaina arrived with Tims, THANK YOU! She and I tacked 3 horses while Sheldon showed Brad the ball and racket catch game.

mastered!

All 3 of us played again at 12 with Britt umping the game right after. Lots of riding for Britt. Kate came to watch Shaina as well, what a nice friend.

warm up

line up were no big deal even the bell boots were less of an issue

and we got the ball a few times too

these are the 3 Australian stock horses that plaid in the tournament, Matt with his "baby" 2, Switch 4 and Shelby and Jinx 6, Jinx and Switch are full sisters

check out this sweaty ump horse, I forgot to say he tried to pitch Shaina off yesterday when she jumped on with spurs...lol

the A team untacked!

Following the busy day, our club kicked back and had a social happy hour in the glorious sunshine before the awards started. Shaina and Brad had to get back tot he city so missed the last part. Too bad as Shaina had a good run on the prizes.

D division winners!  weapons!!

A division winners missing Shaina, more weapons..

 Switch's presentation for top ASH under 5!

and Britt accepting for Shaina for Best A player and horse as well as KD winning top playing horse in both Ranahan tournaments. I was the lucky one to ride her in the June tournament. She does know this game very well and plays hard.

Shaina's haul.. ribbon goes with blanket, banner goes with knife for winning A grade and the flash and shot glasses is for being top player.. weapons AND whiskey hahaha

We again loaded up and drove home arriving about 5:30 back at the ranch. This time the unload is a bit more with lots of dirty whites, empty cans and coolers and piles of other goodies. The evening was so pretty still full of sunshine and no wind but zero effort to walk the dogs say, instead it was eat and watch more GOT while Britt was back to studying staying the night for a massage in the am before heading to afternoon classes.
