Horseback Riding

9/28/2015

This year there are two new badges the Girl Scout Juniors can earn, the Archery and Horseback Riding. I started during the summer making plans for the Juniors in my troop to be among the first to earn these. 

The first place I started is with people and places that I knew; I called the TTU Equestrian Center only to find out about their Time to Ride Events in May through September. I had no idea there was such thing. Events like Time to Ride teach and encourage the love of riding and horsemanship. The center could win $10,000 if they are the center with the most participants in their Time to Ride events. It was a terrific partnership. We wanted to learn and ride and they wanted riders! 

When I told them I had about 10 girls in my troop, they asked if I could find more girls... of course I can!  I posted on the Lubbock Area facebook group and asked if any other troops might be interested. There ere over 100 girls who attended our Time to Ride event!

I sent the director of the center the badge requirements and they did the rest, setting up stations, gathering volunteers, teaching the ladies about the horses and what it takes to care for them, and even a tour of the facility!

​New Girl Scout badges were added this year and I wanted my troop to be among the first to earn them. After Katniss and Merida showed girls how archery is just THAT cool, that's the first one we went for! 

I called a friend's husband who works at Cabella's for advice and direction and come to find out, they have an archery range at Cabella's - who knew! We set a date and I sent him the badge requirements and we were off. 

When the day came the ladies were so excited (I think that the guys at Cabell'as were too, actually).

    Really, I never thought that I'd say, "... table for 6, please." going to dinner with my family. I had plans to be a professor and travel the world. I moved from Missouri to West Texas for graduate school and was just passing through, when I met a man that captivated my heart and held my hand.

    Both teachers at the time, we met before Spring Break, got engaged the day after school was out and got married over Thanksgiving Break. And we shared our wedding cake top with the Labor and Delivery nurses in the hospitial when our oldest child was born. Our courtship was quick and it was exciting. And I don't think that we'd trade any of it for what we thought it might be.

    This magical adventure is more amazing than anything that I had planned.
