Last Specialties Before Annual

Wow.... where do I begin?? I got to Westernaires at about 6:30 so I could JI for my friend on T9. I got Rolo! I was excited because he is such a gorgeous horse and I enjoy riding him. The class went well, I forget how stubborn some of the horses can be without spurs. Then I raced to JI for T2 and I got TomCat! I finally was able to give him his bright orange halter, he looks so good! That class went well but was pretty slow. I had a break before batons at 11. It was super boring. We greeted the new girls and played some games while Red division worked for annual. After that I had a LONG wait until Liberty at 3. It conflicted with Ropes so I was a little sad but it was my FIRST WHITE LIBERTY RIDE! I was so excited especially because I had Lacey! Oh my lord I fell in love. She was amazing, her gaits were good, her wire response was incredible, and her jumping was fabulous! I took off my bridle almost immediately. I got complimented multiple times on my lifting :) So I was off to a good start. We made a line and did a wave while lifting so that was pretty fun. Then we did a jump in fours going up the center. We would split at the rail and did another jump down the sides. Lacey never dodged unless a horse stalled in front of her. When we split Lacey would take off and charge the side jump which was super fun!!!! I was so tired after, we got a lot more jumping in because we went a lot faster. Then for vaulting my partner and I had star. We welcomed thirteen new girls and showed them the drill. I held my tricks better then I have in a long time and trotted most of propeller with no hands. It was a pretty good ride! Then I unsaddled and went home.
