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

Last Colorado Stampede Ride!
Today was amazing!!!!! I got Hunter #23 for the ride. He was actually very well behaved! We talked in the middle forever about ticket sales and calculating the cost of maintaing the horses. We are 3rd in White Division though. Then they said get out on the rail in 8s. I booked it to the rail and guess what! We were playing CATCH UP!!!!!!!! When they told my group to go I let Hunter fly! Oh my lord were we hauling! It's the fastest I've ever gone. He was full on galloping, it was sooooooo much fun! Then we gave the horses a rest and set up for Freeze Tag! The officers were it :) I tagged a bunch of people but it was hard to catch some of them. Then one of my teammates was hunched in the middle, I immediately called a Halt Ho. A horse had rammed into her knee. I walked over and steered her horse to the gate, dismounted and helped her down. I walked her horse and mine on the ground to cool them out while everyone else rode. She seems like she will be okay. I can't believe that I just rode probably my last ride ever in White Division! AHHH! Then I raced and got Betty for JI!!!!! I was super excited she was so fun to ride. She is like a Cheyenne and Jericho mix. SO smooth. It was a good day. Cavalcade was at 5 but was unable to attend so I left at 10.

Are you excited to go to Nighthorse?
ReplyDeleteYou have NO idea!
DeleteLol it's so much fun though you'll probably be moved up in Februrary move ups to Crimson or Royal
DeleteI'm aiming to move up then, hopefully to Royal :) I'm so ready to move up it's not even funny, especially after my disappointment last year.
DeleteYou will :) I kinda wish I had moved to Royal....
DeleteYeah I mean both teams are great but Royal is the best. I'll probably graduate off of whatever team I move too so I really want it to be royal.
DeleteI hope you get there. It looks like Crimson has more room. Royal is pretty full. Most of Nighthorse went there
DeleteBut you have to remember they will pull girl to precisionettes too
DeleteTrue
