Deridder,La rodeo

Ahh back to civilization!!
There is NO cell phone service in Deridder,La..its crazy lol. I got to turn my horses out Thursday night in the warm up pen for them to roll and buck and have fun for awhile. Then put them up around 10:30 and went to bed. Not a whole lot to do during the day,so I took them out and ponied Jet off Shorty for awhile. Then we put up our little portable pen and let them eat some green grass for awhile. Around 2pm we put them back up and took a nap since we knew it'd be late when we left.
I knew he was going to take off from far back down this long alley..just didn't know it'd be that far back lol. He was just calmly walking along then he was like ahh I know what we're doing and off we went. Wow did he leave hard..harder then he has in awhile. He ran really hard to the first and turned it good, then I held my outside hand on the reins the WHOLE way across the pen and switched right before we went to turn. He dropped just right and inhaled it, we were REALLY close coming into the 3rd but squeeked by it and left it standing thankfully. Not sure what I ran due to no one could hear and it wasn't posted by the time we left.
We left Deridder at 11:30, crossed back into Tx from La, got to the first little town and we saw the speed limit sign saying it dropped to 55..so we did. Then all a sudden we see flashing lights, and we got pulled over. We were all wondering what was wrong..turns out somewhere there was supposivly (lol) a sign that said it drops to 45. Thankfully after lots of apologizing and saying we didn't know she let us off with a warning.
It'll be around 2:30-3am by the time we get home.. then we have to get up at 6am to go work the dirt at the churches arena, by the time were done there it'll be time to go home and load back up and leave for Alvarado,Tx around hopefully noon for Win More's Merry Etta Madness.
