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

First Saturday of 2017!!!
I turned in my trainer book in the morning and I rode Sonny for JI at 10. So my morning was pretty relaxing. Then Royal had a walkthrough in the fort at 12. It went ok. I went to sign out my horse for Royal and the wranglers told me GoldDust is lame :( but guess who I had!? WARRIOR! I was so excited! He was so much fun! He is really kinda slow but is so responsive and such a gentle giant. My stirrups were super long and didn't go up high enough. I rode 1-3 and GPA 3 for Carousel and 1-5 for Flag. It was a lot of fun! Our drills were okay but not great. They should have been better seeing as we had a walkthrough. Then I had to towel off warrior but he was super wet. So they left him in the warm arena to dry off while I went to Liberty at 4 and I had Indigo. He was okay. He only bucked once and did a few full jumps! I rode 1st and 2nd pair the whole ride so that was amazing!!! I'm in denial that its my graduation year.
