August 21 - Gunner shows at Olds, AB

He is at the Olds Futurity this weekend and showed this afternoon.

He scored as well as Moose Jaw - a 64 from one judge and a 65 from another. Would have been 6 and 5 points higher except for rider error - Jason was very quick to tell me that. Not quite sure what happened but it involved his 2nd cow and his 3rd cow and getting back to the herd or something like that. LOL

Also was told that he would probably not be in the money.

Jason, however, was tickled "blue" about it all. Said he is soo strong right now...and getting better everyday. He did some different stuff with him since Moose Jaw as well. Rode him hard all last week and the weekend after they got home...then lightly Mon and Tuesday and not at all on Wed - said Gunner didn't feel right when he took him out so put him away. Then hauled to Olds on Wed afternoon. Didn't do
anything with him this morning and then got him out for the warm up. Said he felt very fresh and alert...good to go.

And go he did...lol

Jason said he had lots of compliments and comments on Gunner after his run. Lots of questions on him - where he came from etc.

Gunner shows again on Monday - and I WILL BE THERE. I am going to drive down on Sunday and take some practice pictures so that come Monday morning I will be all set!!!
