... A bit of a tug o' war. It has been work, very hard work. And at times a little defeating. Especially every time Clarabelle decided that she was done and would just lay down...
...But eventually she got her to walk. The key is for you and the cow to become friends. There is no denying how much Madelynn loves her little cow....
...The real test came for Madelynn and Clarabelle at Buckeye Ag Days where they to some much needed "practice" in the ring. It was even more special for Madelynn because her papa was the judge. Of course in order to keep things fair, he didn't judge her, but he was still there to be able to watch her shine. I know it meant the world to her and I think she did him proud.
...Madelynn and her sweet little friend Sheridan getting ready to show.
...Miss Clarabelle all clipped and ready to go.
...Heading into the ring for the first time.
...There was only one moment where Clarabelle decided that she was not going to walk anymore. Thankfully papa was right there to help coax her back up.
...She and Clarabelle won first place in her class.
...And reserve champion overall.
...It was a fun day full of really great memories and good lessons. In just a few days she will be showing at County Fair and the excitement of it is just about to send her over the edge. I am hopeful that she will do well. All we can ever ask of her is that she do her best, and give it all she's got. I am so proud of my little cowgirl!
Very cute! Great pictures, and an adorable little story to follow the pictures! Yay for Madelynn! Would love to be able to come to the County Fair the day she is showing and watch her.
