Promotions 2014!!!

Well today didn't go exactly as planned. But it still was super fun and I am so excited for the new year. I arrived early and helped the tenderfeet groom. I groomed 4 horses in the morning and rode nugget down to the arenas. I was so nervous but 9:45 finally rolled around. I then went down to the livestock building and met with my team. I bumped into Westernairesforever who moved to legionnaires congrats! Then my team dragged me away and we went to the stands. Then we listen to the announcer tell us which numbers went to which rooms. And we were given our numbers. The big red 64 sat in the corner. I looked around and immediately too many people have my number so I knew I had not made Nighthorse. I then went up to the conference room sat down and was with at least four other of my white star teammates. Then my new instructor said welcome to Colorado Stampede!!!!!!! After my moments of depression and grief for not making red division I realize how excited I was to have gotten my second choice team. 5 girls including me went to stampede. Pops WesternaireLover went to Blue Rangers by herself, and WestiesGirl went to Shadow. Then I spent the next two hours riding my friends horses. Man that was amazing. Then I helped with unsaddling. They rolled for the first time so that went well. Now I am home studying my 28 maneuver sequence. Let's Go Stampede!!!!!!
