\nSaturday\u2019s ride started and ended at the Blue Sky Arena south of Benito, MB, and approximately 30 riders took part, pausing midway for a stretch, a visit, and a trail lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOn Sunday 50 Open teams and 4 Youth teams took part in the penning jackpot. The cows weren\u2019t nearly as difficult as they were at the spring jackpot, but there was one team of \u201c5\u201d cows that made more than a few people comment on what nice steaks they would make. This may also be the same reason our swear jar had a distinct rattle at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although the weather was on the cool side, the wind stayed away and the rain held off for all but a few minutes. Perfect riding weather! Even the spectators were happy in the bleachers with a new roof over their heads.<\/p>\n
