denise mcdonald it was a perfect day for horsing around with blue skies and sunshine above and excellent riding condi tions below over 44 horse and rid er combinations took part in the boots n saddle western horse clubs second summer show may 1 it was a great day for competi tion said show secretary diane ferguson everyone seemed very eager the new classes peewee barrels reining and western riding are proving to be a big hit or at least i think they are everybody seems to be parti cipating in them entries in adult classes have been high ranging up to 25 com petitors but ferguson said totals have been surprisingly low in junior classes partly due to many riders being upclassed af ter celebrating birthdays during the winter i think once the season really gets rolling well see a lot more
