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

Interesting Saturday
Yesterday I had batons and vaulting at 8 but since I'm preforming at annual for batons I went to that class. We got to twirl fire so that was fun! I'm probably dropping after annual though... I'm bored besides fire. Then we had our annual meeting at 12 and I am SOOOOOOO excited!!! GoldDust was really good but team was rough. We are running way over time and we are still only riding three drills. We have a lot of work to do in two more rides. Red Ropes was at 4 so everyone was pretty tuckered out.

Horse Training Tryout 3/3
Tonight I rode one of the black draft horses Big Sonny. He was a bit difficult to catch but I did it on my own! The ride was interesting he's very different than normal horses so it was a good challenge. We also rode a drill. I was told that they aren't taking new trainers until after annual but that we'd talk then. So a few more weeks of waiting!!!!!

Getting Close to Annual!!!!
Yesterday went okay. I rode Squirt for JI at 8. It was a little rough because the class is so small. My next class wasn't until 2 so I watched some classes and hung out with my friends. GoldDust could tell I was having a crappy day because she was a perfect little angel for me. We only got three drills in and I rode my usual positions. Then I had Curtiss for Liberty and we worked on teaching the new girls our drill. Then I saddled Curtiss for the JI trail ride! It was SO MUCH FUN! We got to explore the hills and run around in the fields. Curtiss loved it and so did I! Only 3 more practices until my first ANNUAL SHOW!!!!!
