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

Saturday 7/23
Today was long and hot but what saturday in the summer isn't. I rode squirt for JI at eight was a little too excited but I feel like I handled him well. Then I filmed my friend in red trick at nine and rode Shoshone for JI at 10. He was fabulous. At noon Ropes just practiced specialties and at one I had rock for liberty again! He did extremely well and I really enjoyed having him for liberty. On our last jump we had a rider fall and break her arm and she was taken to the hospital. Kind of a sucky end to a good class. Batons was really boring at two I'm considering dropping after annual show but I'm not sure. Vaulting at three went really well. My partner rode trick for warm-ups and I rode trick for the two drills I was proud of how well I have my tricks for as out of practice I am. Also on another note Royal gained 19 new members to our family. They moved up half of Nighthorse to Royal and about half to Crimson. I'm super excited to welcome them and not be the newbie anymore more. Lol.

ReplyDeleteYeah. She had to get two plates and twelve screws. But she's okay!
