Pink Ranger Training and A SURPRISE!!!!

The only thing that could've been better about yesterday was the weather. It was super cold, icy, and snowing in the morning but really cold and sunny in the afternoon. I started Pink Ranger Training! In this class we will learn the two Precisionettes Drills. We got assigned to our trainers and sloppy copied 21 diagrams. But we also have add ins where we have to make our own diagram in-between two maneuvers. So we got 6 of those for this week, so 27 total diagrams. We are diagramming Carousel first. Then as part of training we are required to watch the precisionette ride at 10 and we got lucky and they rode Carousel for both of the drills. But they did change the sequence on us so now I have to re-memorize it. We were inside due to the weather so I JI'd on Zane in the Blue. He was super fun to ride! Then when the sun came out everything turned into mud. So that was fun....not. I watched Nighthorse and Crimson and then signed out Chey. She was on the rail so that was great! We warmed up and lined up our first drill. I was 1-7 so not a horrible position. I got to run pretty fast to get into star so that was fun and I was on the outside of spread star. Then for the second drill....I WAS 1-1!!!!! I GOT TO CALL!!!!!!!!!! All the drills were called by new girls but I was so happy to yell, "LADIES, WHO WE BE!?!?!" and the team yelled ROYALTY!!! I did accidentally call out of star in GPA 3 instead of 4 but the team just kept going so it was okay! My teammate said I broke her eardrums hahahahaha. Chey did really well. We are really starting to figure each other out. The last drill we rode CP so she was able to cool down some but she was still pretty steamy so I finally got to use my cool out blanket! She didn't need to be unsaddled so I headed home and diagrammed for 6 hours. Only 3 left to do!

    1. Get back on and ride it out. Mostly it's ridingn it out of your mind. When I first fell I had a hard time
      Being confident for awhile. Look at it as a growing experience. You are not a true rider u less you've fallen so the hard part is out of the way. When you get nervous just focus on something else. It'll go away with some time. Find me tomorrow and I'll see if I can give you some better advice :)

    1. It honestly isn't too bad, there are definitely more diagrams (50-70+) a week. The sequences are kind of long so memorize them early! It is all about time management and staying on top of it! My advice is finish your diagrams by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest so you have time to study!
