Outside Circle by Jan Swan Wood: Horse Sale Season, Check for VSV rules before hauling, reined cowhorse clinic, barrel and pole jackpot

August is already speeding past. County fairs are happening everywhere, which is great, and school will be starting soon after, which isn’t so great if you enjoy having your kids at home. I keep checking the calendars to see if some months are missing, but they all seem to have 12 just like they’re supposed to. Where does time go? Just last week it seems our son was just a little boy and now his boys are growing so fast that one will be in pre-school this fall. My sister and I decided that we weren’t getting older but our kids sure are!
