1st Summer Schedule Ride

So tonight was our first summer schedule ride for White Star. We now ride every Tuesday. So tonight was just not my night. 1st I forgot my rental money so I have to pay that back next ride. Then I got Honey #45. While I was grooming I noticed that she had thrown a shoe. So I had to put her back and I got Utah Girl #92. I was really happy with the switch. But I had to groom extra fast to catch up. I also got to help some White Knights saddle too. Then we rode down to ride. For our first two drills I was 1-1. I got to carry a red flag and call. For the second drill we actually came out of the arena and came in like a show. That was pretty cool. For the third drill I was 3-1. Outside of propeller. Well no. I screwed up so bad. I lead out of circle and ended up on the inside. Danielle kind of yelled at me. I was so embarrassed. We did shave 30 seconds off our time though. We are supposed to keep it between 4 and 7 minutes. Danielle says we usually always go over time in White Show because our drill was designed to be loped. So right now we can get to about 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Then no one from Chaparrals or Vaqueros took Utah Girl so I had to unsaddle her. She would not roll and took forever too cool down. I did get to give her some carrots and she really enjoyed that. I am going to study my drill like crazy for next week.
