kindergarten {stick horse} rodeo

March 29, 2012- The Harper kindergarten kids finished up their 2 week lessons learning about the great state of Texas with their very own stick horse rodeo.  

Even Brownie came out of retirement just for the occasion.

Pecos supplied several ropes and a few roping dummies.

Our buckets got a fresh touch up of paint.

Pecos was geared up and ready with his chaps that are not quite long enough anymore to be chaps but not quite chinks yet either.

He had to give an explanation of this to his classmates.

But I'm not quite sure what was going on here.  

 And I'm equally as puzzled why Pecos decided to go gangster with his boots and jeans with one leg in and one leg out.  Not to mention the spurs that just wouldn't stay put!

The National Anthem

 Ready to go!

First up was the flag race where he seems to have lost the reins.

A little pole bending action.

A tight turn in the barrel race.

Some roping.

His official saddle picture of the day.

And finally, the bull riding. 

Where everyone decided to see if they could buck him off.  Didn't happen.

Me and my cowboy.
