It was just not a good night. It was absolute chaos in the pasture, I got kicked, the horses were fighting, it was absolute mayhem. Then for class the kids are so little they need a lot of help. Trinidad bit my back, and two horses pulled back. My car wouldn't start didn't get home until 10:45 pm
Saturday 2/14 -
My friend on White Star made it onto JGE. SO PROUD! This was definitely my day! Stampede groomed and saddled but we didn't ride until 9 so we got some different horses. I GOT STRETCH!!!!!!!! I was so excited. I got him all groomed but need help from a taller teammate to get his ears in the bridle. I actually got up by myself!!!! I rode him down and lined up. Since I was AAA I GOT TO RIDE HIM!!!!!! My second time up wasn't as graceful but I still got it! My teammates heads were at my shoulder LOL!
> for those of you who don't know stretch is the tallest horse at westernaires and he is only 3 so he is still growing. <
He likes to play with his bit and has a really hard time standing still. His trot is terrible! But he makes up for it in cuteness. He's so clumsy! You can feel he doesn't quite know how to control his legs. His personality is awesome. We RODE OUR DRILL! All the way through for the first time. We got to pick our positions but I couldn't call because I called the walk through. So I picked 2-1 (OUTSIDE OF PROPELLER) We actually didn't do too bad! Stretch LOVES the outside of propeller. His lope feels like you are flying. It was super easy to guide because I could see over all my teammates heads. Then I watched White Star they are actually looking really nice. I didn't get to see their drill because I went up to the fort and organized some walk throughs with my teammates. For diagramming we were in the Seminar Room. It brought back White Star memories.Then we took the second test. I felt really good about it. I was the first one done....again. I got an 87% on the first one :( Not my best performance. I diagrammed the wrong progression of diagonal pass through and missed a few points on written responses. I was freaking out so I asked my instructor for my class ranking. I can't share but it eased my fears a lot. I watched what was left of Nighthorse while my sister had costuming. It was an amazing day. The weather was fantastic.
Sunday 2/15 -
It snowed! I was so happy it waited until Sunday. The class went great today. Horse ID was paints but we brought up more to fill out the classes and keep some horses happy. I got to lead horses through the circle this year! I led Lacey and my baby Chey! It was a good class.
