I got #124 Pablo. He is a chestnut horse with a blaze and 2 socks. He did really good for grooming. Just a little bit of attitude issues. He also tried to bite my butt when I mounted up. During our ride we practiced for our Equitation Testing. We could trot or lope through the cones. Then we had to stop and back up one step then turn and lope back. I loped it pretty good, I just need to work on using less rein and more leg. Pablo has a really bouncy trot but his lope is to die for! It hardly even feels like you are moving. At one point I got a little to close to Blaze and he bit Pablo in the neck, I was a little unseated but not to bad. We just kept right on trucking. But away from Blaze. That horse is a bully sometimes. Then we had our 3rd Tenderfoot Lecture. Turns out because I'm a renter I can't do Liberty until my 3rd Year :( We learned about diagraming and what our second year will look like. Promotion from Sophomores to Juniors and Base Teams will take place on Promotion Saturday. Which will either be on November 2, 2013 or November 9, 2013. I can't wait! Also I learned all the teams for White Division.

After our meeting we went to the museum. There was lots of cool stuff in there. I especially enjoyed the old spurs and the Westernaires history. There was old side saddles, Calvary saddles, and some authentic native american costumes. We also had 4 real horse hooves to look at and we had to identify the infected one. It was pretty cool. I am excited and nervous for Testing next week.
