So tonight was good but really depressing. Also it was Alumni week so it was super weird seeing people riding out of uniform. I chose Cruiser #67. He is such a cutie!!! He was in a special pen and he had a fly mask on. WesternaireLover helped me take it off. He was great for grooming except for his feet again. I had tricks from last ride so I was able to get it. Then we mounted up and down we went. We spent a good bunch of time listening to information about ads and boosters for annual show. Then we got flags. I got a red one. My favorite. Then we got started right away and lined up. I was 1-1. Surprise surprise. We actually came out of the arena again. Cruiser has a OK trot. He is kind of slow. He has no in between gate. It's either a normal trot or slow lope. So our drills went much better tonight as far as organization. We got a little scrambled in the second drill cause we had some crazy horses. Almost all our owners were renting due to their horses being on lock down cause of the virus. So all our drills were being done at a TROT. I'm really really bummed. They didn't even call a lope once the whole ride. Or give us a chance during the drills. I did get to do some loping to catch up but barely. I am super super bummed. We were supposed to lope this show. Maybe we still will but I doubt it. Then cruiser got taken so I helped my teammates unsaddle and ended up taking Blue home for another rider. I found an old picture I took of cruiser a couple weeks ago and thought I would post it.
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
Hi! I am a Westernaires as well, and I am the Royal Ranger rider of Cruiser! I'm very glad you enjoyed my horse, and keep riding with pride girl!
