My daughter the barrel racer

My daughter is 8 years old and has recently started barrel racing and rodeoing.  Right now she's just at fun shows, mainly competing to learn what it is all about and get used to the whole scene.  She took fourth in barrels and won the boot race.  The boot race is when they take all the kids boots off throw them at the end of the arena, all the kids line up race down, find their boots, and sprint back.  It was hilarious to watch, you could see the determination on her face she did not care if she stepped on anything, she just hauled butt down to the end of the arena.
