Our Cute Little Cowgirl

I think I have mentioned before that Ashlyn really, really likes horses. Her grandparents in Buena Vista have several horses. She just loves petting them and being around them. Ashlyn really likes one horse in particular. Her name is Pistol. Ashlyn now refers to horses as "Peeoohs" (did my best at writing how she says it) since she can't say Pistol. Ashlyn's grandparents decided to start entering her in some horse competitions. Now, I know NOTHING about horses. I can't really tell you what each competition entails. They are every other Sunday in Woodland Park. I do know that she has an absolute blast at them! I have not gotten a chance to see her compete yet. I hope to the next competition. Joey went with her this week and got lots and lots of pictures. I included a ton because they were all so darn cute!

Joey said she had a great time like usual. He said that everyone there knows her. He said a lot of people were saying she is a natural and very talented for her age. He said that when they announce her the announcer says "she is only 2o months old!!" Every week she competes she comes back with several ribbons. I just can't believe my baby is a cowgirl. I think she is one of the cutest ones I have ever seen! Since I can't really explain anything, here are some pictures to give you an idea of what she does
