The Fun Day.
On Saturday 26 February we had a fun day at the Kaitaia rodeo grounds. Tamzyn and I were the only kids from Ahipara School. There were a lot of activities on the day. The runs I did were, Team Barrel racing when you get a partner and you get a rope and you do the barrels without letting the rope go. And I did Barrel racing, which is when you go around 3 barrels and try to beat everyone else and beat you time. And Pole bending is when you have 5 to 6 poles and you throw them and beat the other person. And this is the hardest when you don't have the right horse for its Team drafting is when you have three people in the arena and you get a number and the are 3 calves that have the same number and it goes up to 10 and you have to get then past the barrels and try not the let them out of the line of the barrels and I also did the Keyhole its when is have a line and you need to ride on the line and then turn around in the circle and race back on the line and beat the other person and the Jackpot barrel race it's when you do the barrels and beat all age and no limit and they try to beat everyone else and we had to pay $20 to do it and it did lots more. All my family that lives up here was there and some were on the Fun day. It was a great day and the sun was out most of the time. The horse that I rode was my horse Darkey. And the horse that my Aunty Therese rode was her horse Cuda. The fun day went on all day. I won $20.00 for the team drafting, And a horse cover from the kids raffle.
