PROMOTION SATURDAY!!!!!

So today was Promotion Saturday!!! I arrived early and checked in to my monitors at the Livestock Arena. There I sat anxiously in the stands. After a while our monitors gave us our rider information forms. But we couldn't open it. A man,(Whose name I don't know) started to talk. We were instructed to open our sheets. The number in the corner of my sheet was a 35. So was many others around me. Well at least I won't move up alone. Then they started calling out the numbers and telling us where to go. My number was called and I was instructed to meet at the West Side of the Stands. There we met our instructors of our new team. They said," Hi I'm Danielle, I'm Brittany, and I'm Aline and Welcome to White Star!" I got on a Double A Team!!!!!!! I could not believe it!!!! I wanted this team so badly. My new costume colors are Purple, Green, Pink, and White. These are our show costume colors. For regular riding we wear our practice uniform. I can not wait to start riding next week! I guess my equitation test with Belle did me good. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost half of my Tenderfoot class went with me to White Star and a bunch from T- 9 as well. We were given a floppy binder. Mine is gray, with diagramming sheets and sequences as well as a copy of the Westernaire Rule Book and lots of other information. My homework for this week is to hand write out my sequences 10 times and write 1 to 2 short paragraphs of what I like about Westernaires and what I hope to achieve. They are due at our 1st ride. We will also be starting diagramming right away. I can't believe I skipped Single A! I will let you know what Junior Team I am on when I know!
