Snow/Rain - Spring?

Saturday had some weird weather. It was a rainy snowy day but not too miserable. Just cold and muddy. My morning began with PR Training. We started Crimson & Lace yesterday. I passed my sequence first try! Then we were assigned the first half of the drill. The only catch is this drill has adds after every chart. So we got around 48 diagrams to do. I diagrammed last night and all day today and they are finished!!! Sitting and diagramming for 12 hours straight is tough but I really enjoy having them out of the way before school starts. Juniors was cancelled so I didn't get to JI today so I had nothing between training and Royal. I watched Nighthorse and Crimson. All the teams seemed to be having rough days. I was really excited for Royal because we were supposed to ride with flags for the first time, but for some reason we didn't. Oh well next week I guess. I had to pull Chey out of a class but we still made it in time for warm ups. We had a pretty long warm up to ensure the horses were ready to go. I was GPA 3 for the first drill. It went much better than last week but we still had some rough patches. I got to be 3-6 again for drill 2. I honestly really like that spot and wouldn't mind taking it to Estes! I get to be one away from the outside of propeller and break off for Spanish Bowline. This drill wasn't so hot though :( Idk what happened but I know we will pull it together. I studied Flag before the ride but I'm really going to dedicate some extra time this week to Royal's drill. We only have 8 rides left until Estes which is super terrifying but SO EXCITING at the same time. Immediately after Royal I had liberty so my teammate took Chey home. I always feel bad not taking care of my horse but back to back classes, what do you do lol. My first White Liberty 1 ride went well! I had Bernie who was fabulous but we didn't jump which was probably a good thing because the arena was really hard. We worked on our drill but it was hard because half of our team had conflicts. After I took Bernie home I left fairly quickly so I could start on my diagrams.
