As most of you know I train horses and give riding lessons. Over the last weekend of May, the South Carolina High School Rodeo Association, held their state finals. My students did GREAT! I was so proud of the girls I work with and the horses I have trained. It was a weekend of triumph and tragedy. On Friday afternoon a Junior High girl's horse fell on her and she ended up dying Saturday morning. I did not know Lauren McKenzie Mathias so I do not feel I am a good person to comment on the tragedy, but I do know she will be missed greatly in the rodeo world.

But on a better note, there were great runs and lots of fun. Here are a few pictures I took over the course of the weekend. And I had to include the best pole run of the weekend made on a WWR trained horse.
