White Star Summer Ride 7/22

So tonight went really well. I got the horse I wanted. Skeeter #62. I had never had him before but always wanted to ride him. He was great for grooming and I picked his hooves while he ate his grain. He is a bit stubborn for the bridle but not too difficult. It was so hot and humid during grooming. During the ride we warmed up just a bit and got flags. Finally!!! I got a red flag. Skeeter took it without any problem. His trot is so nice! He just is hyper and likes to throw his head a lot but he switches leads and turns so quick. His lope is really collected and smooth too. So then we worked on loping in 4's and turning. We also did like 4 thread the needles all at a lope. Then we set up for Standard Drill. I was in 1st Four again :) Then we set up to run our White Star Drill. I was 1-1 and the minute I yelled," Team are we ready!?" Skeeter got sooooo excited. Then once I called split Danielle called a lope! So we actually started loping our drill from the start!!!! We had a Halt Ho in Mariner's Cross but nothing to bad. We  lined up and started again. We made it through but got all scrambled during Circle so the whole line up was thrown off. But we made it work. For our 2nd drill I called again and it went much better. We loped it really well and our Propeller was kick butt!!!! We are still getting used to loping it but it's coming along. It is soooooo much fun!!!!! I love loping it so much! Especially with flags. AHHHHHHHHH!!!! We made a line and dismounted. We had one renter who had to unsaddle. I stayed with her the whole time. On top of it her horse had to eat. Overall it was a good ride. I am out of town for the next week, so it will be pretty boring. I will miss ropes this Saturday and White Star next Tuesday. So I guess I will write for Juniors next Saturday!!!
