Falling down...down...down

So sorry for the delay! I've been super busy. But last Saturday had it's ups and downs. I had all back to back classes from 9-4 and a conflict so I didn't go to batons. I had training first thing in the morning. For the walk through I was 4-1 and GPA 1 point. I was so excited to be in first four. The walkthroughs weren't awful and I DIDN'T FALL!!!! LOL it was super funny. Then we got our scores back. I got a 97% on Quiz 2. I missed one question and I have passed all 3 sequences so I didn't have to take one. I also only had one correction. Very easy day as far as classroom went. I felt good about Quiz 3 as well. So then I raced to Vaulting. My partner and I decided to try more tricks on her horse. He would buck if I held kneel too long. But I put my knees further apart and he stopped. I just needed to remove some pressure on his spine. So we tried one leg hang. That horse has no spine so you just slip everywhere. I slid off upside down but we were at a walk. It was an actually slow motion fall lol. It was so muddy though. I got Stretch from a JI and headed to Nighthorse. The second I was mounted in the arena he took off. I one rein stopped him and it was all okay. The first drill was interesting shall we say. Stretch not having breaks made my life difficult. Plus our caller got a little confused but she tried so hard. I was proud of her. I got another scare when we started the second drill and I was a point. As I turned into my GPA stretch overshot so I pulled back and he turned instead... I only had one rein. I was in a bad location so I called a halt ho. Then a few moments later Stretch unclipped them again but i was in the quadrant so my teammates helped me fix them again. Riding point wasn't too bad. It requires more effort than people think. I really got to watch the drills though. They were scary at some points. It's hard to believe we only have two more rides to work with this drill. Our Flag final is on the 19th. At 1 was ropes. It was too muddy to get good practice in so we tried our best. I wasn't paying attention to my mouth and had to run a lap for saying can't. Guess what!? I wiped out lol. I baseball slid in the mud. The only thing that was really hurt was my pride. I changed Bandannas and JI'd for T7. I got Stretch! The weather drastically changed and it got SO COLD! I felt so bad for the little kids. I had signed out my liberty horse earlier and my teammates took him to the white for me. I had Dodger! We warmed up and my instructor told another girl and I that we were calling. I was #2 of 1st pair for the first drill. It wasn't great. Dodger did fairly well though. We ran out of time so I'll get to call at our next ride. I'm kind of glad I'll get another chance to study some more. I unsaddled him and sent him home. I was chilled to the bone and hadn't eaten all day. I crashed early that night that's for sure.
