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

White Ropes 8/9
Today was really weird for me. So I didn't help wrangle in the morning so I literally just showed up for my 1 hour class and left. It was so different not being there all day. Ropes was in the Volunteer again! I love it in there so much. So we warmed up with 3 flat loop routines. Then we lined up our drill. We did it 3 times. Looks like a good bunch of tricks for Olympics. Then we worked on specialties. I showed Danielle butterfly reach thru and she checked me off for it but we are not putting it in show. Then my friend and I showed her Tandem Spoke Hop. We got it put in show!!!! I'm so happy! We then lined up one more drill. So the tricks are butterfly, lay down, spoke hop, drag, drag accordion, accordion, and double wedding ring. So during butterfly I am preformong large butterfly with my 15ft. Then during spoke hop my friend and I are doing tandem. We may get a trick board brought down. It's a piece of plywood so we have a flat smooth surface to preform on. We will try it out next Saturday. My other tricks are drag accordion and accordion. I can not believe that white Olympics is next weekend already. It's just insane! Didn't this year just start??? Then after ropes I went to the volunteer lobby and signed up for the White Divison Gymkhana in September. I signed up for pole bending and barrel racing. I'm super excited for it! Should be fun!!!!

Barrels and Poles will be fun when I did it it was great and Shoghi loved it. When I find out if I can take Shoghi there I will sign up and I want to do Barrels but I don't know what my second choice would be. He is really good at poles because he has done it before when I did flags he almost spooked at the first barrel and ran into it lol but, he should be fine now. I am so excited!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm so excited!! Shogi seems like he would be awesome at poles. You should ask at the sign up booth.
