Gymkhana

Carolyn and Candy barrel racing

I spent the weekend with my sister, Carolyn Dikes, at a Gymkhana in Fortuna, CA.  It was really fun.  She had me bring a lawn chair because there is a lot of down time between events.  It was really cold Saturday evening so I was cuddled up to her horse while they waited to compete.  Candy is so awesome.  She was nice and warm and smelled so sweet, like hay.  I have not been around many horses because they are not exactly on my bucket list...so it was very fun and very different.  I am posting a picture of her and Candy as they competed in the barrel race event.  Don't they look like they are having fun! I had a gift certificate for a wonderful B&B called Carter House so we stayed there Saturday night.  The breakfast was wonderful.  We really enjoyed our stay.
