Michelle's a saddle winner!






Michelle finished up the summer game show series at Strobel's Arena yesterday. She had a super night racing, winning all three events on Rupert (the paint horse).

They have been knocking down poles during the season but were able to run "clean" patterns and run them quick last night. She got some good times on Cherokee also.

She was very surprised to win, entering last night's race fourteen points behind first place. When Rosanne announced her name she yelled out "you're not serious!" Then tears came to her eyes as fast as laughter came to her face. She ended up winning a buckle for high point in the poles, the saddle for overall high point, a saddle pad and a halter and lead rope. The pad, halter and lead rope were the fifth place prize she won on Cherokee.

Good job Smellie.

How do you think Rupert feels wearing a pink saddle???

Do you think dad will want him to wear it elk hunting?
