Juniors, Lecture #3, and ROPES

Wow I am so stinking tired. Juniors went really well. I got Emma #16. I had always wanted to ride her since my tenderfoot year. I was the first one back into the arenas. Her hooves were super muddy. It was really empty again because Red Team was on a trip. J1 only took up one rail in the red arena. The ride itself was pretty fun. We just practiced for equitation with cones mostly the whole time. Emma is a spaz!!!!!! Her trot isn't too terrible. While we were loping my stirrup came clean off. I had a JI go back and get it and help me put it back on. One of my best friends JI'd my class. I was able to do the cones good. Emma likes to run them over more than weave. She actually like jumped over the last one. Then I turned and let her run dropped the reins and threw up a trick salute and ran down the rail no reins. It was so much fun!!!!! I was a little sore after the ride but not much. Then was Junior Lecture #3 it was pretty boring today. We had finished everything so it was basically review. After was ropes. We got to practice in the volunteer!!!!! I was so happy. It was really hot out so that was nice to be inside. You feel so small in there on the ground. The arena dirt was a little fluffed up so my friend and I jumped around on it to pack it in. We are getting so good at tandem spoke hop. We may even get to preform it at Olympics. Then Danielle called me over to show her spoke hop. It went ok. I really need to work on it more. It's just frustrating. I am also getting good at bird in a cage. I got an 8ft rope. It's a little different kind it has like pink flecks on it and it's so soft and broken in and it's brand new. I made it blue :) then we lined up to do a drill. It went well. While we were doing it Daniele marked down who could do what tricks. I was so tired cause I never got a rest!!!! I got to sit once and that was during jump the honda. It suddenly was very hot in there. Imagine if we had been outside. OMG. Then my friend came up and asked me if I could do splits. I said no I can't. Uh oh. So Off I went. I had to run the whole volunteer. It was painful!! When I got back I had to take my inhaler for my asthma. Danielle said you know you could have walked it the last thing I need is you passing out. I just laughed.  We got a little more time to practice on specialties. Then we had to do ten toe dances to leave. I am so tired I think I am going to go nap now lol. Good Night
