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

Ride and Kaleidoscope Final
So on Saturday I started out with training and we took our final for kaleidoscope. It really easy so I'm hoping that's a good sign. Then we talked about horse health and basic veternairy care. Afterwards I signed out my horse and I had Chey again. It seems to me that she will be my new horse to carry me for right now. The ride actually wasn't too horrible I got to be 1-5 (OUTSIDE OF PROPELLER!) and AM(1). I was so excited to finally get to ride outside of propeller. And the drill actually went fairly smooth until points in but other than that it was really OK the second drill was pretty boring for me because I was American but it's an important role and I was excited to ride it. I got hit with a giant dirt clumps during double thread though it was pretty funny. Chey was much better about picking up her right lead so I think I'm starting to figure out her cues. I didn't JI so I could film my friends graduating to Percisionettes. Then I stayed until six and film my friends trick class at five. Pretty good day and we will be riding with flags for the first time next week!!!

I wonder if any moves up will happen soon. Crimson and Royal and looking pretty bare lol. We only had enough for one pint in each quadrant
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you like Flag or Kaleidoscope better or are you undecided?
DeleteI'm honestly not sure. I enjoy aspects of both drills. I think move ups will happen on Valentines day hahahaha
DeleteI think it will be at least another week. But who knows?
DeleteHow was my calling for the first drill? :)
