The Supporters

We don't always recognize the ones who are there to support us each weekend as we rodeo.  We have the people who are kind enough to do our chores.  We have the people who take care of our work.  There are also the people who take care of other family members while we are gone.  

Then there are all of the little brothers and sisters who go with their family each weekend to cheer on their older sibling.  These little ones are up on the fence cheering.  When you hear them, you just think that is so cute.  They are the ones who run and play all day at the arena.


Sometimes the rodeo day is just too long for them.  When they finally take a break and sit down for just a minute, they are out.  


Friday night my 4 year old nephew had been playing at the arena all day long.  He had been watching his older brother compete.  The rodeo went a little late that night.  Down by the gate we had different saddles for different events and horses.  He just sat down on the ground in one.  That was all he need was just to take a break.  He was asleep that fast.  


We all need to take some time to recognize our supporters.
