Royal Rangers - Aug.10, 2016

On wednesday I had GoldDust again. I was determined to have a better ride with her. Grooming was fine she's super easy she just bites your butt sometimes with the first hoof. Then we had warm ups which weren't horrible actually. Then we lined up the first drill and I was 2-5. Then the second and I was 2-8. Both went okay. We were threatened with trotting if we kept leaving riders behind. It's just hard because we have two owner horses who can barely get above a trot and there really isn't a spot in our drill where we can put them besides CP without issues but we don't want to punish them because of horse difficulty.  We will get back to the royal we were a month ago it's just going to take some time and patience and next week is Alumni ride so we are all just going to try and survive lol. Then the third drill I was 3-1. I missed the peel off for spanish bowline and lost my stirrup so the whole drill I rode liberty style lol. Luckily they found all the pieces and I put it back together for the next class because we just cooled down our horses after that. I really need to go back and study my drill again since we are riding different positions again. A refresher would be really nice.
