Colorado Stampede Ride and Officers!!!

Last night went really well! I got Honey #45 which I wasn't really thrilled about. She was fine for grooming. She moved around a lot but otherwise fine. Her stirrups were up as short as they could go but they were still a bit long. For warm ups my friend called. Then our instructors asked Who could call standard. I was the only volunteer. I called pretty well until after Mariners cross. Then it was all new to me hahaha but it went well. Then they called group HO. They said," We normally try to do officers in June but that didn't happen this year. So we are naming them tonight. We have 5" 

Sergeant, Master Sergeant, 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, then it was time to name Captain I held my breath and they called my name!!!! I got Captain again!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of myself! Ahhhh!!!!! Then we lined up our drills. I rode 2-1. Honey loved outside of propeller she just has no brakes so it got very frustrating. I had to shoulder my red flag multiple times. Then I rode 1-1 and we were actually going through our drills fairly well!!!! It was so nice finally being able to pull it together. Then I rode 2-1 for the last drill again. Overall it was the first ride in a long time where I came out happy. My instructors are going to buy our officer bars for us so I'm meeting with them on Saturday. Let's go Colorado Stampede only four rides left till Olympics!!!
