Post 100! - Picture Day

So this is my 100th post on my blog!!! YAY!!! Juniors was fun! I had Apache #77 again. He seriously drank for at least 10 minutes this morning. I call him a camel for that reason. I was the first on in line to get my horse today so that was kind of fun. I was last time I got Apache too. He was really good except he kept trying to eat the grass. The one downfall about summer. He is a big horse too so I had to use two hands to pull him up. We practiced a bunch for Interclub. Apache would be amazing he has the best show trot ever. Hi lope is also really smooth he just gets tired easily. We got to lope with out stirrups too. It was a little scary but really fun. Then we did some pass throughs and thread the needles. Also a split and circle. It was an amazing ride I enjoyed it a lot. While we were waiting to check in for White Star we saw a Junior 2 rider LOPING on DAKOTA!!!! It was absolutely astounding. Then for White Star I got Delbert #116 OMG he is amazing!!! Seriously a new favorite. He has the hyper spastic energy that I like and he is SO SMOOTH! He responds so quick and it was just flawless and amazing. We didn't do flags though :( but Aline and Danielle rode with us on their horses! It was really fun and it was our best drill ever. We got through it without a single Halt Ho. I rode 1-2 again. I had to miss Jr. Wrangler pictures though because they were during my Whute Star ride. Then for diagramming we just had a walk throughs. I walked positions 1-5 and 1-2. We had to have our walk through on the trail leading up to the Rodeo Arena. It wasn't very wide or even so we were trucking through the grass and tripping in the holes. It was interesting. WestiesGirl called one of the walk throughs! She did great. I got full points back on my Study Guide. The moment of truth finally came and we got our final scores. I got 315/300!!!!!! I couldn't believe it a total perfect score and all extra credit. I was ecstatic. Our final had 82 questions, 5 diagrams, and a sequence test. So then we got cleaned up and ready for J1 pictures. So today was the absolute organized chaos known as picture day. I have never experienced it base team style. Tenderfoot was easy it was just our uniform with the red side tie. (Same for Juniors) But for base teams it was a whole another story. So for Juniors we all got our side ties on and lined up tallest to shortest. I am always in the middle row. I was for Tenderfoot, Juniors, and White Star. I was in the same spot for J1 and White Star too. But Juniors was easy. Camera man said, Ha Ha, and we said He He. Bam were done. So then we run to the white tack truck and talk a little about care and responsibility for our costume bag and extra. Then our bags were placed on a circular rack. We found our bag and then put on our vests. It was amazing actually getting to wear my costume for like 10 minutes. I had issues with my hat band though. We couldn't find one to fit my hat so that took a while but we eventually found one. Then we lined up on the hay bales. Then they brought out our flag. I wish I was in the top row. Two of my friends got to hold the flag. One holding the pole and one the tip of the flag. Our picture was awesome. We were waiting for Brittany to arrive so we played Simon Says. I placed like 2nd. She didn't show so we had to take it without her. Then we packed up our costumes and were done for the day. It was absolutely amazing! I can't wait to do it again in a week for White Ropes. Here is my total scores!
