Almost wordless Wednesday

I've noticed that a lot of bloggers have a regular "Wordless Wednesday" feature where they post a lot of pictures with little to no verbiage. I don't think I'm capable of eliminating words entirely, but I've decided to adopt my own version of this blogger tradition.

Today's pictures are from the the barrel racing classes at the Aurora Horsemen's Association gymkhana. Competition in the older teenager and adult divisions was a mixed bag. There were some serious competitors who put in very fast, professional looking runs, but there were just as many adult amateurs who seemed happy to lope around the pattern in between socializing with their friends at the ingate. Men competed alongside the women, and the rain held off just long enough that everyone stayed dry. A good time was had by all including me. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
