Finally a Good Ride - Stampede 8/6/15

So tonight went amazing! We got to pick our horses and I finally got to ride Dodger #6 for team!!!!! OMG HE WAS PERFECT :) He didn't move an inch or fuss at all during grooming. Our ride started out with Standard drill as our warm up. Our 2nd Lieutenant called again. *Hold your breath* We actually got complimented!!!! Our standard drill looked sooooo good. I think it really energized our team cause we pulled out 3 awesome drills and I rode 1-1 the whole time :) We still suck at Star and making our "S" for salute lines but we actually could pull off a pretty decent White Olympics next weekend :)  Dodger was freaking perfect! Took the flag no problem he just trotted off instead of walked. His lead changes were so good and his turns were incredible not to mention AMAZING gaits. Ugh I love him. We also had a short meeting about annual show boosters. Then while we were waiting to go unsaddle Cisco took off down the street, blowing right past Dodger and I. He reared up and tried to take off but I wouldn't let him so he just spun and reared and danced around. It was SO FUN!!!!! LOL then he spooked at a tarp on the way up. He took FOREVER too cool down, I was the last one walking my horse not to mention he still had to eat. It took me about 45min to 1hr to be done unsaddling. I'm so happy my team is pulling it together. I have my first of three grooming classes tomorrow so watch for another post :)
