Today was a good Saturday (which one isn't to be honest). I rode at 8 for stampede and I had Skeeter #62. We just rode Standard so no loping which kind of sucked. Then I raced to JI at 9 and I had Amigo #54. I did soooo much better with him this time. I got complimented a lot for how well I helped the kids so that made me happy. I left for a little bit and came back. I gave TomCat a name tag. Then we had "grooming" for show. Basically we just brushed off the dirt and show bridled. I groomed wyoming and molly then took hunter down to the arena. Then the show began! We costumed during white star. I put on my chaps for the last time. I got Sue #128 for the show. She wasn't so sure about me mounting in chaps but after she was fine. The show went pretty good! Sue would spaz in the corners, she didn't like being alone or waiting. It wasn't our best but Standard Drill is harder with a bigger team and we didn't have as much time as we needed to practice it. We quickly uncostumed and watched glory riders. They were AMAZING! Like I can't even describe it. Then it was time to wait on the rail, the show was in the Volunteer.

I was so happy that we pulled off second place :) We had 87.65/100 points. Glory finished with an amazing 99.85/100 - that's how amazing their drill was. Then I got to unsaddle my baby boy Rock and my day was done :) I submitted my stall card design and I think I may have won :)
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
Congrats on 2nd! Tbh I'm kinda glad my last year in White Division Standard was cancelled.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine. I'm kind of glad this was my first and hopefully last standard drill.
