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

Liberty!
So today was good. Batons and ropes were cancelled so I didn't have to be there until 10:15. I woke up at 5am out of habit and panicked lol. I picked up my diagram for Stampede. I have all 4's on my diagrams now!!!! So I checked out my horse for Liberty and I had Pepper again! I was so excited he is such a good boy. He was in Precisionettes so I was one of the last few into my class. I almost got up by myself. Everyone had to take off their bridles today because we were in the Blue so we wouldn't have horses taking off. I wanted to anyway because Pepper is sooooo good! He responds to leg cues and the wire amazing. It's really weird having the bridle off but I like it. I got to speak to a 1,000 pound animal with my body and a thin wire. It was incredible. We had to practice lifting. It's so much easier at a trot. My friend's were right the momentum makes it easier. Then we had to hold it and that sucks. We also did some threads and stuff. It was a really good ride. So I didn't have Vaulting until 5 so I watched NHR/Circus Horse, Crimson, and Royal. Then I got a phone call saying Vaulting was cancelled. I was sooooo sad! I was really looking forward to doing the tricks. But the weather was awful!!!!
