Westernaires is a precision mounted drill riding group, this blog was used to record my time at Westernaires. I leased a 21 year old quarter horse draft mix named Bo. Prior I rented and rode Stretch, Chey, and GoldDust. My teams were T1, J1 (Top Junior),White Star (Captain), Colorado Stampede (Captain), Nighthorse Rangers, Royal Rangers, Red Liberty, Red Ropes, White Vaulting, White Batons, Jr. Instructor, and Jr. Wrangler. I now ride on the Evergreen Drill Team since I graduated in 2017

Rides 6 - 7 - 14
Wow today was great!!!! For J1 I got Outlaw #68. We worked on Interclub and going from a stop to a lope. And going from a lope to a stop. It was fun because Outlaw is fast! It was amazing. And he did so good. Then for White Star I got Indigo #82. We rode with flags and I finally got a normal one. It was red. Much easier than the blue ranger flag. Indigo is bouncy. But his lope is really smooth. I got to call the drill!!!!!! I was so happy!!!!!!! Also an old white star instructor came to help us and have me some really good tips. For the second drill I was 1-5. Outside of star!!!! We did really well for both drills. We are actually pulling it together. The walk through was interesting and fun. They are starting to pick spots for show so they were experimenting today. I called 4 walk throughs!!!!!! I could be caller for show. I sure hope so. We had to skip one of the drills while calling only HO. It was really fun. The director also drive through one of our walk throughs. Ahh. Now for the scary part. I was calling the drill and we were about to thread the needle and a teammate went into a seizure. It was really scary but she pulled out of it. We were all glad she was ok. So we got let out of walk through 20 minutes early. Then I went to practice on the horse I am using for Interclub. I am so excited for tomorrow. I may be riding in serpentine but I don't know. What a day!
