day 3 on the ranch







This day was a blast, we started out like every other day by rounding up the horses and getting them saddled then we took a short break to practice whipping again and we did it!! well i got it first(Bec) ahah its so cool you whip it over your head then in front of your face and it makes the loudest sound every! everyone was in shock when i got it! then i was trying to show the other girls how to do it and Catie got it too!!! go CANADIAN GIRLS!!!! after that we took the horses and rounded up the cattle! which was just like in the movies, we were like the sheep dogs moving sheep! fantastic and good fun. to make the cows move you have to yell and make noise to scare them so everyone was yelling OI!!! and then my throat started hurting! lol after we rounded up the cattle we got to wrestle with them!!! well the baby cows anyways. two of us would go in and turn the head and pull it to the ground so they could tag the ear... that part wasn't cool! we couldn't watch when they ripped the skin. but the wrestling was awesome and once again me and catie were the best! we think our judo skills helped us in that department anyways!! but we weren't going to tell them that!! !hahah it was a fantastic day and at the end of it we went out to collect firewood by chopping down the dead trees and i(bec) got to use a chain saw!!! they clearly don't know me well enought to think twice about giving me once of those but everything turned out as it should and the tree went down!!!!!!! then we used the firewood to make a bon fire! it was fantastice and a great way to end the night!!!
