BUSY LIFE

Madasan showed her big bull, this young bull and a heifer in the Sevier County Fair this year. Her big bull, Hoss, won Reserve Champion, the little bull won his division and the heifer won the Maintainer Division.

She is already getting ready for the Four States Livestock Show in the coming weeks.

Suzanne doesn't ride but she is the backbone of the traveling Muse girls. She makes sure they are registered at all of the events. She has her little notebook that is filled with their scores. She makes sure they have the proper attire to qualify in these rodeos. Then she makes sure the truck and trailer is ready to travel. Brett is not able to always travel with them. The farm takes up most of his time. He provides the money for all of their adventures. They are involved in a rodeo or two almost every week.

In addition to the riding adventures Suzanne see to the preparations for the show season. Madasan always enters the County, 4 States, District and State Fairs and this requires a lot of work. She sees that Madasan works with her cattle and has them ready to show. This requires grooming, feeding and teaching them to be ready for the show ring.

In addition to all of this fun stuff she manages four egg houses, attends church services and is now selling First Fitness products. My daughter is one busy lady but when needed she sees that I get to my many doctor's appointments.

Madasan rides her twenty year old horse, Ishmael in running the barrels and poles. She has a new horse she is training to take his place in the barrels and another that she ropes off of and ties goats. She will continue to use Ish in running the poles until he runs out of steam. From the way he gets around it doesn't look like that will be any time soon.

Madasan has been riding longer than Sheyanne. She started out learning from Rachel and has become a very expert rider. She is very calm, cool and collected with her animals and they really perform for her. I mentioned in an earlier blog post that she was the over All-Around Champion Jr. Girl at the High School Rodeo.

Sheyanne is enrolled in the Ag Business Program at CCCUA. She is on the College Rodeo Team and will be taking her horse to all of the College Rodeos they enter this year. One of the requirement of her Rodeo Team is to assist with some of the events in surrounding rodeos. She worked in the DeQueen and Foreman Rodeo.

This is Shey and her horse, Sassy, running in the DeQueen Rodeo last week. Sassy is just a young horse and still in training. Shey thinks she is going to be able to move on out once she gets the hang of things.

My girls are so busy and I have two regrets...I can no longer keep up with them. They video their events and bring them home for me to enjoy in the leisure of my living room. The other regret is that Billy J. didn't get to see them ride and show their cattle. He would have been one proud grandfather.
