Bonina Trail Challenge 2012

Thanks to my great production crew...we have an awesome video of Nedra & Wyatt to share !!

There were (4) Courses total...(2) on Saturday and (2) on Sunday... each day we had a cattle challenge !!
Course #1...Had 15 obstacles... navigate thru rocks down hill...then walk thru water...get a marshmallow stick & roast it on the campfire from horseback. Trot over logs and p/u hay bag from mailbox and carry it up hill while trotting your horse. Top of hill we had to trot in the orchard around (5) fruit trees and weave thru (5) skinny bushes. We had to back our horse up a hill & then ride off the hill down around some cones. Back down the hill trotting & put hay bag back on mailbox.
Course # 2...Also had 15 obstacles...Open tub gate...Dismount & Ground tie...P/U hay bag...Mount & throw hay bag over fence...Back down alley...Dismount in front of livestock scales. Put horse in scales. Reins on saddle horn & close gate. P/U weight ticket. Write down estimate of the weight of your horse & tack. Then we went down the alley and on to the cow work !!
Course's #3 & #4 both had 15 obstacles to deal with...but that made the Trail Challenge the best in the North West !! :) I think I would have a huge cramps in all my fingers if I told about every single obstacle. Hopefully the video will help explain the rest of the weekend !! :-)

We even won a cool "BONINA" jacket for winning 1st Place !!  :-)
