United States Team Roping Championships 2013
In October the whole family traveled to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to the USTRC Finals. It was a long 12 hour drive but once arriving at the state fairgrounds it all became worth it! It was a whole week of shopping, riding, roping, late nights and early mornings! The girls competed in the Cruel Girl Championship, #9 Preliminary #9 Shoot Out and the #8 Shoot Out roping's. Everyone had a great week and roped extremely well! Emily and Katie were 6th high call in the Cruel Girl roping and ended up 2nd place, making them the 2013 Reserve Cruel Girl Champion's in the USTRC standings. It was the best trip to date! Not because the girls won money but simply because of the memory's and friendships made...those are irreplaceable!
