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

Heritage
Herded show was not the best day for me personally. Royal did amazing in the first show but I almost came off after propeller. I was 3–8. In my flag came out of the flag boot but I hold onto it throughout the entire drill until was able to get it back in the flag boot. Then the second show star dodged every single jump in liberty. I was extremely frustrated and we had two halt hos. Then for Royal I was 3–6 and this time we stopped coming out of propeller GoldDust just turned right I went left I caught the saddle and she stopped as I slid I almost save myself but eventually just step down. Put my foot back in the stirrup and climbed back up it was only about a 10 to 15 second halt ho. my flag stayed in the flag boot and I waved to the kids as well to let them know I was all right. It was a good show for my teams but for me personally it could have been better. Our ride was canceled for the night because of the show.
