White Division Show 2016!

Wow yesterday was spectacular! I started my morning at about 7 I helped my friends groom for their liberty. My partner and I both had conflicts with White Vaulting so we went to Blue Vaulting at 8 for some practice before the show. We decided that she would ride tricks because I hadn't been in so long. I finally got to JI @10 and I rode Dodger!!! He was so fun :) I bought a 30ft rope to try for Texas skip and it made it sooooo much easier. Red Ropes was fun! We ran through our drill a few times. I am preforming Laydown and Handshake and we will decide at estes if I am preforming texas skip or not. For Liberty I had Rock again!!!!!! He wasn't having the greatest day. If the horse in front of me dodged he would too which was frustrating. But otherwise he is a great liberty horse. Batons was fun! I had to call the fire baton drill which was one extra thing to worry about besides the fire hahaha but it was fun! Then I had a few hours before check in for show. I drank water and tried to stay cool. For grooming I had bantaro. Thankfully all the horses were really clean so it didn't take long to show groom. I had Rock for show!!! I was so excited to have one of my favorite horses. Once I got checked in with all my teams, set up my quick change area (I had a back to back from batons into liberty) and got costumed for vaulting. I was riding my partner's horse for serpentine because she was in grand entry. Vaulting went well but we missed a whole maneuver.... something got messed up with circle. I don't know but we made it work!!! Then I had a long time between act 4 (vaulting) and act 20 (batons) I got to watch a lot of the acts and then I got costumed for batons. It went really well! I didn't drop my baton during the normal drill and I only dropped my fire baton once!!!! Then I raced out of batons and quick changed into liberty. They didn't get my vest on tight enough so one shoulder was off the whole time and I lost a cuff going in the gate and my shoe was halfway on but I didn't loose it!!!! White Liberty 1 was the only Liberty with NO HALT HO's!!!!!!!! Rock did amazing! I got thrown in the line up so I was behind better horses so we went over 2/3 jumps so a huge improvement :) It was so much fun and I already can't wait for our next show. By the time I got all my belongings gathered all the horses were taken so I headed home :)
