More barrel "racing" pictures

Shannon giving directions, me looking totally terrified.


Me trotting the pattern, still totally terrified, but at least distracted by movement.

Lena and Steve, not quite full speed and fuzzy because I took the picture from too far away, darn it.


Last but not least, Miss Lena by the trailer.

All in all, it was a really cool experience. I think both Steve and I have a hard time with the "event" parents over-coaching their kids, but most folks were there just to have a good time with their horse. We were, anyway, so we'll probably do some more of this.

After all, I promised Lena I'd let her go faster next time.
