Last Jr. Wrangler Class

Today was testing day!!! When we arrived we talked about wrangler uniform. Us Jr. Wranglers will wear our practice uniform with a green bandanna. Then we got our horse identification sheets. It was a packet of paper numbered 1 - 132 or something. So we went out to the pastures. All the horses were tied up and with numbers on their necks or butts. The halters did not match either. So we just went at our own pace and identified as many as we could. I got a lot of them! Then we went and took the written test. It was basically about 10 multiple choice questions and some on mustangs. We also had to name one horse from each category of color. Then was horse parts, saddle parts, and bridle parts. That's basically all there was too it. Then we got to groom and saddle. They let us pick our horses! I got Winddancer! She did not have her pretty halter though because they were all mixed up. I forgot how much I love this horse. She literally lets you do anything! I groomed and saddled. She got a new saddle! It is so pretty and looks great on her! Then I bridled and put her support boots on. We did have to call for groom checks and tack checks. I had a ton of time afterwards so I brushed her mane and tail. Then I just played around with her face and messed around. We can find out our test scores this Saturday and we won't be able to get our green bandannas from the store until they send them the list of who has passed. I also bought my Pasture Book. Here are some pictures!
