There was gymkhana scheduled for today at G's ranch. Gary and I went to check it out, and I was hoping to meet more people. Unfortunately it was raining.
The event started with pole bending. Several kids in the peewee division were led. A few rode it solo. Then the adults and the rain started. Several horses misbehaved. One in particular bucked and reared, refusing to do the course. Out of the arena the horse continued to act up. It seemed a bit dangerous to me. One girl was injured either once she was on her horse, or I think when she was mounting. He was rearing quite a bit. She thinks her ankle is broken. I guess I'll hear about it later.
The gymkhana was called off after all of the pole bending was over. They'll reschedule for the week after Thanksgiving.
I felt badly that I didn't spend any time with G. I gave him some treats and pet him, but I didn't take him out of his stall at all. Maybe in a few months I could try him in a gymkhana event. It isn't terribly competitive. Some people rode it fast, but many just were going through the course at a trot.
