The First Buckle

A VERY important milestone in any cowboy's life is winning that first buckle. Brykn has wanted to win a buckle so bad for the past couple years. And, believe me, he's put in so much work with his trusty horse, Rio, that he deserves it!

This year at the IRHA banquet, all the kids in the Short Stirrups class received a very nice buckle that was sponsored by their parents. Brykn had no idea he was getting an award. When they said his name and I told him he won something and to head to the stage, I thought he was going to pass out! After the shocked look on his face, an ear-to-ear grin emerged! So, so fun!

It didn't take but 2 seconds for him to have the old buckle off his belt and the new one on it! He was so proud--and I love watching that.
