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

2014/2015 Tenderfeet First Ride!!
Wow today was quite the day. It was super foggy in the morning. It looked cool. I got to help a girl who missed the class last night. She had Bingo. I got her caught up and sent off. Then I helped EVERY class all day. I was there and helped with the demos on how to approach the horse at the rail. It was actually fun helping all the kids get comfortable with the horses. So many were so little! I got really good at shorties by the end of the day. I has to throw them in the saddle almost. Then we helped the last class unsaddle and I helped the girl with Dakota. He was awful. He just wanted to go home to his good. I felt bad because she couldn't do much because he was freaking out so muh. He stepped on my toes and it really hurt. He dragged me to the pasture and took off as soon as his halter was untied. Then I helped clean up and did tack checks. Overall a really fun day!!!!!

Oh Dakota, Why do they even give him out for first rides? Sometimes he can be such a sweetheart, but others shall go without saying... That sounds really fun, I hope I could do it next year.
