Before Brayden arrived to pick me up, I worked both of the horses for a hour each. Afterwards, I bushed them and turned them out to the field for the day. They deserved a day off relaxing and grazing under the sun. Before turning them loose to their own devices, I spray them down with fly spray on and slip their fly masks on. Both horses trot around the field before settling down to graze. I watch them for a few moments before returning to the cabin.
Tomorrow was the big day. My performance in the first round tomorrow will make or break my trip to the NFR. Most of the barrel racers competing are probably going to be busy the rest of the day preparing themselves or their horses for tomorrow. There isn't anything really I can do besides take them around the barrels a few times. I decided against that idea fairly quickly. Working a horse too many times on the same thing eventually burns them out on it. …show more content…
None of the drills contained barrels, so hopefully they won't get tired of running barrels. Even though I don't think that is possible for them.
I always thought it was best to let my horses have a day off before a rodeo. It's even good for the rider to get some time off every now and then.
Once I was back into the cabin, I quickly made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. I applied a spritz or two of perfume and combed through my long brown hair. I grabbed a hair tie before throwing my hair into a pony tail.
As I was finishing up, I heard a truck pull in and instantly knew it was Brayden. I rushed out to meet
