So tonight was amazing!!!!!! I got Bandit #1 and had to saddle Blaze #11 for a teammate who was running late. They were both fine. We got to ride outside even though it was storming before but it cleared up. We rode Standard Drill for warm ups. It went well but not as good as last week. Then we lined up our drill. I was 1-1. We also got flags. I finally got one of the horse flags! I was very excited. The wind was very strong so it was hard to hang on. WE ACTUALLY GOT OUR STAR!!!! It was such a great feeling :) I actually trotted at some points and I was on the inside! We pulled off three amazing drills tonight. It was amazing! We also shaved a minute off our time we rode a 5:14 drill tonight :) We also got to do a victory lap for two of our riders birthdays. Bandit loved it! He was being a brat with his lead changes though. I just had to pull his head a little more and then he would switch them. I was so proud of my team. Our instructors said if we do exactly what we did tonight we could win olympics on saturday! GO COLORADO STAMPEDE!!!
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
