White Star Equitation Testing

Today was not my day at all. I literally arrived so late that I just threw my monitor the check and got handed a horse. It was Tahoe #36. I had never had him but everybody was telling me he was great. So we mounted up and warmed up a little. Tahoe has a bouncy trot. Not as bad as rebel but uncomfortable. So then everyone except the first four left the arena. Finally it was my turn. I was given a blue ranger flag. Great heavy. Then once I was in the arena my nerves felt much better. I felt like my group did really well. We had one reverse that was really bad but otherwise we were really tight. It was great getting to ride with WesternairesLover. Tahoe did great. He just likes to pop tart you out of the saddle a little bit. We built pairs at a trot circled and reversed then picked up the lope and built fours. A couple circles and reverses then a Halt Ho. That was it! Then we got to all go in and do one lap around at a lope then up we went tp unsaddle. Tahoe was being really pushy. He was absolutely fine for grooming and he rolled almost right away. Then of course he ate so I was there for a while. Then I went home :) that was my day :)
