Visited the grandkids in Wheatland, WY, and watched them present their animals and ride their horses. Granddaughter won Grand Champion in horse riding and her New Zealand rabbits, and Reserve Grand Champion in dog agility. There were some very hot and long days during all this competition. She is 8 and her brother is 6.
The pic of the rodeo queen racing her horse came out with a lot of noise but I still like the pic. Added the goat, thought the view was interesting.
One of the many goats.

Great photos! Unique goat photo! Congrats to your granddaughter. We still have grandson/son's trophies from chicken and rabbit showmanship 15 or so years ago. I still go every couple of years to take photos.
Congratulations to your grandkids for entering the fair and doing so well. Fabulous pictures... cute kids. Beautiful fur baby and horses.
What a wonderful way to grow up with animals and the chance to show them - so many things those children are learning at an early age! You and their parents must be very proud of them.

Looks like a great day for you and your family!! Thank you for sharing.
Not too proud, only have about 10K photos of them. Also had another grandson showing his hogs at Colorado county fair. He placed 5th which is really good for his first time.
What a wonderful life for those kids. And wonderfu memories for you. All much blessed.
Congrats to them; that 4-H stuff is a lot of hard work.
Great shots, Bill. The action shots are great and the noise you mentioned doesn't detract. These shots will surely become family treasures to share as the stories are retold in the future.
Bill ....your work is wonderful and your granddaughter's abilities are amazing . Your life is good sir. And thank you for sharing them with me.
Great action series, Bill and congratulations to your grand kids for their participation and their wins, by the way, the goat shot was great.
