" Tell Me what it is you plan to do with your ONE wild and precious life ?" ~ Mary Oliver

Mutton Bustin

This may have been the highlight of the fair this year ! Both Taylor and Cole were able to enter the Mutton Bustin (Sheep Riding for those who don't know what it is). It was so cute. Cole went first and drew a bad sheep that just laid down on top of him in the shute so he got a re-ride. So Tay was then up she had an awesome sheep that ducked and dove all over the place and she held on clear to the end of the arena. So now it's Cole's turn again Mark told him to not let go for any reason and true to form with Cole he didn't and ended up winning the round. Which was great for him, not so great for big sister who had a melt-down. They bring the top 5 riders of the day back for a Championship Round and he did good again which only added to the drama for Taylor. He ended up winning $39 ( or as he says Firty-nine). He now thinks he's rich and wants to buy EVERYTHING he sees.
