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

Western Heritage Show
Whew! What a day. I had to report at 7 for grooming and we got Yukon for vaulting :( oh joy. I saddled Shorty for steppes. He did amazing and was so clean that show grooming didn't take a lot of effort. After we rode the horses down I had to go up and change for Ropes. We literally just practiced in costume but the kids thought we were awesome. It was so cute. Then I u costumes and met up with my vaulting team. We got our horses ready and lined up. My first show riding trick wasn't terrible. Yukon is worse than rebel because on top of bouncy he is bony too. I didn't fall so I'd call it a success. We ate lunch and then rode serpentine for the second show. The second drill was t that great for vaulting. My partner and I fell behind on Yukon but caught up on time for pass through. Then we cleaned the white and in saddled the horses and sent them home. I'm exhausted and soooo sore but it was an okay show day
