Bittersweet Day

So Saturday Royal Rangers lost 9 girls to Precisionettes, but I will get to that later in this post. I started out my day early as usually at 6:30 to JI. I got to ride Drover again and he did really well! I got to demo a few flying lead changes too. Then I graded diagrams for NHR from 9 - 11. I didn't have anything again until Royal at 2. I got Warrior ready and headed to the ride. We rode 3 flag drills and I rode 3-2, 1-6 (but a graduating girl bumped me to point), and 3-4. Our first two drills were great but the last one we kind of fell apart. Then we did our promotion lines and bade farewell to our new sweethearts. I'm going to miss them. I wasn't expecting to promote because I was a senior so I wasn't too upset. Then one of our teammates informed us she had to quit so I suggested we make the lines again and let her have her final ride as well. It was very sad. Royal is super small now so I'm thinking we will be getting new girls when Nighthorse is finished with training but it's hard to tell. Warrior went to precisionettes and I heard he did well and he did great for royal too! I'm starting to figure out his cues so it's getting easier for the both of us. He bloats a lot so there are some scary moments with the saddle lol. I hope we start riding with flags again soon. Then I unsaddled him and got ready for Liberty. I FINALLY GOT TRINIDAD! I was so excited to finally have a good liberty horse again! We did the drill three times with jumps. I called twice and did a ton of no hands jumps. I'm really working toward a second chance at Red Liberty. It was amazing. Then I took him home and that was my day!
