As the big rodeo approaches in San Antonio this February, like it does every year, Elena is training her new horse and continuing to ride faithful Yancey in local rodeos. (I was watching Elena at the ranch's dog pen while Bonnie chose and purchased Yancey 12 years ago).
Last night there was a big rodeo at Pedrotti's ranch (where Will worked as a teenager) and Elena (second youngest of all the contestants) won second place and a cash prize for her flawless and impressive barrel race. She even came out ahead of her trainer!
Her new horse, Clown, is not yet rodeo-ready, but Yancey, even in his middle-age, is one awesome rodeo horse, attuned to Elena's every move and careful not to knock over anything in the field. Together, they are quite a team!
