Salt Creek Team Penning

Was a cold night had the diesel heater cranked up this morning, up around 6:30 and a quick coffee then off to setup judges truck and sound system, then a final touch to the yards as they looked a bit wide as we finished in the dark last night, setup the pen and then got the truck bogged trying to line up for judging, so that’s where it stayed. We managed to get a start just before 9 and the girls had been getting the ponies ready and were fired up for there runs today, I spent most of the day in the cattle yards and Teresa did a bit of timing in her down time.
They had some good runs and Teresa and Slippery had 3 teams for the day and managed to pen 17 out of 18 and Sas did well too on my horse Cinch, they managed a 6th place in A grade with Locky with a time of just over 3 minutes for the 6 cattle over 2 runs, finished the day off with watering and feeding the cows and then it was drink and dinner which was supplied by the Variety Bash people and they did a great job all weekend, a few drinks and yakking around the fire pots rounded up the day.Read more
