12 Hour Saturday

My day started off at 6:30am with JI. I rode Sampson and he did super well! It was pretty chilly out. We focused on foot position a lot since they are being introduced to spurs. I noticed a girl struggling with her reins and they seemed really long. Well it turned out one was unclipped. So I called a Halt Ho and we got her situated. It was one of those moments where I was happy I was a JI and I prevented an incident. Then I raced to the Mountain View room to grade my trainees diagrams. They are almost done with Flag. Hard to believe its only been a year since I was in training. I watched my sister in Nighthorse. She rode Stetson this week because TomCat was in sick bay. GoldDust was really good for Royal. I rode CP and 3-2 for Carousel. Our drills weren't as good as last week but we still did okay. Then for Flag I rode GPA 4 point. We also got our stock show assignments. Then we took some horses home and unsaddled them but left them in the arena for liberty. My liberty was at 5 and I had Levi. He honestly surprised me with how good of a Liberty horse he is! I was so comfortable I finally did my first no hands jump!!! It was so much fun! Then I rode 2nd four for our drills. I ended up leaving at about 6:30pm. It was a very long day but I wouldn't want to spend my saturdays doing anything else!!
