My LONG Day 5 - 3 - 14

So today was pretty interesting. BOTH baby ponies were our this morning. They were very cute together. So I wrangled in the morning. I helped many kids find there horse in the pasture. During grooming my friend and I helped a girl with Pepper who was moving a little slow. But we managed to get her up and out the door with her team. Then I watched Jr. Grand Entry ride at 8 with flags. It was awesome. My friend did really good. Then I watched White Liberty 4 at 9. Midway through I went and practiced ropes with my friend. Then we watched Precisionettes at 10. At 11 I watched my friend's White Batons class. Then at 12 I went and watched Nighthorse. It was epic. The wolf howling at the beginning of their drill gives me chills every time. They gave out officer ships and my friend got Sargent. (6th in Command). Then at 1 I went and rode my friends horse in the Silver Spur. I got a great amount of practice in for Interclub. Not a ton of loping because he had just done 3 classes and it was REALLY HOT. But I wanted to work on trotting anyway and keeping my seat. So then 3 finally rolled around and I checked in for Ropes. I want it to go back to our other time. We warmed up with our flat loop routine like 3 times. Then we spent 10 minutes on specialties. I decorated my 12 ft ropes with zig zag blue and white duck tape. We did our "drill" one time. It went pretty well. We got let out early after we talked about our costume. Black jeans, white long sleeve blouse, and white shoes. Our pictures are on the 17th. Overall it was a good practice. I watched the T10 ride. They worked on Thread the Needles and Loping. They did pretty good for Tenderfeet! I was impressed. Just a lot of clumping when they start loping. I then helped unsaddle. I stood out like a sore thumb. I was the only Jr. Wrangler there... At least with my bandanna on my head. Buffy stepped on a girls foot. Looked pretty bad. I helped out a bunch of kids. Indigo, Blaze, Brutus, Stormy, Bandit, Blue, A.C (He was being REALLY BAD). I couple others as well. I was one of the last people to leave. The ponies were out in sick bay. Overall I am very tired. But it was so worth it. Here are some pictures from ropes.
