Sunday Show!!!!!

Base team shows just never stopbeing fun. Sunday was a blast! Minus the heat and boy was it hot. Stampede had to groom and saddle and I originally had princess but she threw a shoe. So then I pulled up amigo so the wranglers could look at his feet but he went home cause he wasn't being used. So I just got to run around and help my teammates. Then we met up at the stands and sat together as a team. I get really bad show nerves for team shows. Like really bad. I'm fine once I'm in the arena but waiting makes me seize up lol. So stampede finally got to go get costumed. I loved walking around in my chaps. They began to give us horses and I got Money! I was soooo happy :) he is a really good horse. So stampede puts their saddle covers under the stirrups so a little different from white star but it was much easier in my opinion. Mounting in chaps was awkward and challenging though lol. You feel so official in costume. I got handed the team flag and led my team to the gate. The announcer introduced Colorado stampede I yelled IN HO! And off we went! The next 6 minutes were almost a blur. Money did amazing and did everything I asked. We had Molly take off and cause a bunch of problems so I ended up in third four at one point. Our star was terrible but everything else was okay. We all ended up riding totally different spots so I was really proud of how we came together as a team and corrected our mistakes. Then somehow I ended up back as 1-1 for the end of the drill. Who knows. I loved loping though omg. It's soooo much better than trotting. I also geek out betting to hold the te flag. I consider it a HUGE honor and take it very seriously. Overall it wasn't to bad. We have a LOT of work before olympics in August but we are getting there. Then I unsaddled Bantaro after the show was over and headed home. First show weekend of the year was a sucess!!!!
