White Star Sunday Ride 9/14

So I finally got to ride with my team tonight!!! Finally since white Olympics. Guess who I got. Rebel #52. Yay here comes torture!!! So we talked in the middle about show. We got to ride in the western. Our downfalls were time and speed consistency but otherwise we were flawless. Then about VSV and making stall cards for annual show. I am going to make a design and submit it. I'll post when I'm done. Lastly we talked about white division equitation testing and how it would work. This has effect in promotions!!!! So then we got flags. I had a red one. Rebel took it no fuss at all. We did some really fun stuff. Trotting was pure torture because Rebel is sooooooo bouncy. I can't tell if he or Yukon is worse. They are both super bad. So that sucked. I could already feel saddle sores forming on my knees from my jeans rubbing. Then we picked up the lope! Thank heavens. It wasn't much better. Lol but anything is better than his trot. We built 4's then had to transition to troopers and keep the lope. Then we build 4's again and I got to run super fast to catch up. Rebel doesn't like to slow down haha. We dropped off our flags and went back on the rail. We Whwre looping as troopers and Danielle said pick up the speed! But Apache was our first horse so we didn't increase at all :( Then we played catch up!!!! The main group was at a slow lope and the first 4 had to catch up to the back. My group charged it!!! We were at a full gallop but we got in trouble because we left a rider behind who was on a difficult horse. We let her catch up and tried again. It was super sad cause I love going fast. Then we dropped our stirrups and just let the horses walk it off and cool down. Then up to unsaddle. I got to give rebel some apples. He eats like a bird!!! Takes tiny little nibbles out of them. One was my skin! It only hurt for a second. Chey attacked the buckets and knocked apples everywhere. It was super funny. Then a really nice gel on trailblazers let me give Cedar her apple slice. My knee is rubbed raw. Almost bleeding. It was a good first ride back. Write on Thursday for ticket rally!!!!!!
