No Conflicts! For once :)

So yesterday was my first time not having conflicts since move ups! I started the day with stampede pictures! I got to be on the top row for the first time ever! I was very excited. I love stampede's costumes and getting to walk in them was awesome! Can't wait for shows, we only have 4 practices left. Then I had Jr. Wrangler pictures that I finally got to be in :) I had ropes and we got to practice inside the white because Nighthorse had a walk through. I had to run two laps hahaha but I worked really hard. We ran two drills and I got to call one of them. I had to run to see who I had for Liberty and it was Tahoe.... oh joy. He actually wasn't to bad but he doesn't have the nicest gaits. He also dodged the jumps a lot but the instructors said he looked sore. So we took it easy which I was fine with since I had lost a lot of muscle mass and confidence since I hadn't been able to go in two months. I would have ridden Trinidad, Shoshone, and Bernie had I been able to go. I watched Nighthorse and saw NeonRain and bingo on the outside of Propeller. They looked awesome. Then I had batons. We got moved inside for a bit due to rain but it passed quickly and then we went outside and began creating our drill seeing as show is coming up really fast. I got dismissed early for JI tryouts. I went up to the red since they moved the horses. I got DODGER! I was so excited. So we rode the horses down and dismounted... I had to give him to another kid cause they thought I was in the second group. But I wasn't so they told me to pick another horse and I chose Curtiss. Not a bad trade but I really want to ride Dodger in a saddle. My stirrups were a little too long and the pair I was with didn't know how to pivot so that made my job hard. But I rocked the cones! I'm talking flying lead changes, no swinging, straight in a line. My stop was okay but I was so happy. Then I got a great rollback and flew down the rail. I felt really good about it. I don't know when we will find out if we made it but I'll let you know. After I had Vaulting. I wore my show shoes and they were slippery. Got to get used to them. My partner and I had Lucy. She is BOUNCY in the back for tricks, omg. It was terrible. I rode base for the first two drills. We are the third butt vaulting pair, we will probably ride there for show. We like it there because we are on the inside of propeller and don't have to trot standing hahahaha. The last drill I rode trick. I was super tired so my balance was off and I slipped in one leg hang and got a leg up in the corner. Overall it wasn't a bad practice. The tricks weren't great but the drill looked really nice. Then we unsaddled and got to go home :)
