We woke up really early in Mesa Verde and drove 40 miles to Durango. We got on the train from Durango to Silverton! It was 3 ½ hours. It was so beautiful! We spent the whole train ride staring out the windows because of the amazing view! In Silverton we went on a horseback ride for the whole 2 hours! We galloped! It was so scary, but soooooooooooooooooooooooo fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After we got back to Durango we were informed that we would be in the rodeo doing barrel racing! I was so excited! We practiced barrel racing for a while! After that we went on this robot bull ride where you had to try to hold on for as long as possible!(The bull was fake but still moved a lot!) Then it was time for the rodeo! We were so scared because we weren’t just going to watch it we were going to be in it! When it became time for barrel racing we went out into the arena! I rode a white horse named Bo, Maddie rode a paint horse named Target, and Lilli rode a brown horse named Simba! IT WAS SO FUN!!!!!!!! Nobody won but it was a blast! After that we had dinner. Then we went to bed! Good night!
