the 2nd exciting day of Roping!!

The 2nd day of roping was Tuesday (4-1-08) another exciting day. Steven brought his 3 horses again and Chauncy had his horse. We got to the arena and Steven was riding the bay. Saucy was tied up in the arena and Pancho was tied up at the trailer waiting for JJ to arrive to ride him. In the mean time Chauncy and Steven were trying to turn a few steers and I was running the shoot. There was some ruckus at the trailer and Pancho some how got his lead rope hooked on the door of the trailer and he didn’t like that one bit. He was trying to get away but couldn’t. he was pulling and pulling but nothing except just getting him mad. Steven hopped off the bay and was very calm walking up to pancho to get him loose from the door of the trailer. She finally calmed Pancho down and got the lead rope loose. Steven then tied him up in the arena thinking that would help. NOPE it didn’t He got loose from his halter and took off running in the arena. That was a show, he didn’t want to be caught. In the mean time JJ had gotten off of work and showed up. Chauncy and Steven were on their horses trying to catch Pancho. After about 10 minutes they caught him at the bottom of the arena. JJ didn’t want to walk to the top so he decided to jump on Pancho bare back. Guess what Pancho didn’t like that so he bucked him right off. It was funny to watch. No he wasn’t hurt. Pancho has been roped off of so he knew what to do, but he hadn’t been ridden for a while nor roped off of so he was a little stubborn for JJ at 1st. Well its finally time to go the guys had fire practice so they were trying to rope as long as they could and then hurry and put the horses in the trailer and go. Well the horses didn’t want to cooperate. They would get the bay and Saucy in and before they could get Paco and Pancho in Saucy would turn around and start to come out. This happened about 4 or 5 times. So then they decided to put Paco and Pancho in 1st. Well then something went wrong and Saucy and the bay were out and kind of jumped and rared or something and the bay hurt her leg. AWWW stupid horses. They finally got them in and headed off to fire practice.
