Saturday 4-23

Saturday began with my carousel final. It has six diagrams and I felt really good on it. I also got 106% on Quiz 2. I missed one question. We got our sequence for Crimson & Lace and we will start that drill next week. I had to miss batons due to training and I rode Zane for JI. Chey was so much better during Royal this week. She was in Liberty the hour before so that took up some class time. Royal had an off week. We weren't really working together. We did two and a half drills and I was GPA 4, 4-3, and 4-7. Chey needed to go home and was a perfect little angel for unsaddling as normal. Ropes went well! Texas is slowly coming back and I'm also working on double spoke hop for Estes. Two huge challenges. Then vaulting was in the white. We have way to many new girls on the team so it's mass chaos. My partners horse was bucking so we knew something was hurting him. We got him checked by the vet on Sunday and he can't be used for vaulting so we are going to try another one of her leasers horses. I'm just glad we figured out something was hurting him.

Spring time ... Jk

Westernaires was cancelled on Saturday due to snow. I was really ready to get my carousel final over with. Oh well.

An update!!!!!

So Saturday started out with pink ranger training. I got 110% on the first quiz making me tied for first in class. We did some walk throughs and I called the first one and was 1-7 for the second. It's hard because our training class is so small. We only had four people in team the second time. And then I was CP for the last one. I felt alright on quiz 2. The diagrams were much neater so that was nice! Liberty I had bandit who was pretty fired up. We had new riders so we just worked on jumps. I had my first red rope practice and we planned for Estes. Then Royal Chey was a little off but we rode four drills!!!! I was 2-7, 3-6, 1-8, and GPA 2. I was so exhausted by the end. Four drills is a lot!!! It was a ton of fun though. I got approved for my vaulting costume for this year and waited for vaulting. We welcomed a lot of new riders and I'm going to ride tricks for white division show. And tonight I got a phone call welcoming me to WHITE LIBERTY 1!!!!!!!!! Which rides on the base team weekend so that's really odd but I'm glad it'll break up my schedule a bit.

RED ROPES!!!! FINALLY

It is with incredible pride and happiness that I can say I'm officially a RED TRICK ROPER!!!!! I have worked so hard for this! I learned almost every trick on our list, Texas skip, and many many others. Ropes was my very first specialty and it stole my heart. I am so excited to preform at Estes! 

Scary ride...

Saturday was eventful to say the least. Rides after a week off are always a little frustrating. Pink Ranger training went well and I felt great on the first quiz! We got 29 diagrams, 5 adds, and I had two really easy corrections so I had a total of 36. I spent 12 hours yesterday finishing them all. After class I saddled my friends horse who I rode in nighthorse warm ups. He did a lot better than I expected so that was great! I'm weighing my options of potentially leasing him. The only issue would be liberty so we will see! Then royal was having a good warm up when a rider fell off of a training horse. She is okay but had to leave in an ambulance so our ride was shot. We got 1 1/2 drills in but they weren't very good. I think everyone was a little shaken up. I was 3-4 and then P2 (Q3). Chey didn't need to be unsaddled so I headed home
