In May of that year my mare, Bridget, had her second foal.  I was fifteen minutes late for the birth but I got to do and watch everything else including video taping it.  Also my sister and I went on our very first cattle drive with the Hendren's.  I took Bethany, who had appoximatly 10 rides on her, on this hard drive.  We had 30 head of easy cows in one pasture but the other had 80 stubborn head of cows that refused to go down the canyon for about an hour or so.  With steep canyon walls I was unsure of what to do and to make matters worse there were only 4 good horses out of 6 and only 3 of the 4 good horses could chase cows down.  Another thing I was the only rider in front that had a good horse.  The next thing I know my horse and I are loping the canyon walls chasing cows down that tried to run off in front and then I also was trying to keep the front from spliting on a horse that had about 10 rides.  One thing that was for me, my horse had been raised on steep hills from the time she was born and she knew how to handle cliffs but I was riding her and she wasn't used to that yet but we made it through alive.  In June we had another drive taking the cows up to the forest land and then I took Bethany to a McNamee clinic.  He had two competitions on Sunday and Bethany won both of them.  July came and Tabitha and I decided to enter the Kooskia Days Parade.  She took her trusty filly, Rianna, and I took my well trusted filly, Bethany.  They came through alive.  That pretty well wraps up what we did with the horses that year other than the time Mr. Hendren called in a panic saying his cows over by my place were out on the road and he needed help.  I hadn't rode Bethany in a couple months and she did quite well getting the runaways back in their pens.
