Vegas 2022
Leslie Bowen
Although we were a little out of our element in the BIG city, we had the best time in Vegas supporting Bayleigh! It was so fun to be able to take our family and see the sights. We were able to attend the NFR on Bayleigh’s rookie night and watch her receive her buckle. She placed 3rd in the rounds that night. We also attended the last night and Bayleigh placed then as well and won 2nd in the average. She was one of only two barrel racers to not hit a barrel all week.
Jarvis has worked for Bayleigh since 2020. It all started with the famous yellow horse named Trigger. He is grateful that he is able to help her along the way by shoeing her horses when she is in Georgia or being able to fly to her when needed.
While there, we went to Hoover Dam and Lake Meade. We also went to Red Rock Canyon. Each of these places were beautiful and something to see.
We also got to meet a lot of the contestants such as Bayleigh Choate, Riley Webb & Josie Connor whom the boys roped with for an hour or so, Brady & Riley Minor, Cory Solomon, JD Struxness, Hunter Herrin, Tanner Brunner, Jordan Briggs, Dale Brisby, Tuff Hedeman, Chad Masters, & Donnie Gay. We also met the original cast to the John Wayne movie “Cowboys”. Most of them took a picture with the boys and signed their hats. They will never forget this experience.
We are glad to be home and back to our little farm. Until next time Vegas!
