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

Happy Reunion!!!!
My morning started at 6:30am, no surprise hahaha. Well I got Drover for JI again he did really well! I had a lot of fun with him and he keeps a good speed for JI. Then I raced to training where I graded 4 drills!!! It's amazing I got them all done! Then I FINALLY had Red Ropes after we had been canceled for almost three months. I worked a lot on 60ft and got all the way out. I worked on a few double tricks and double spoke hop as well as step through. You could say I was glad to be back. I went to my walkthrough at 12 and found out I could've gone to week 1/3 of circus horse tryouts. Ugh I guess I will just have to go next week. My walkthrough ended in time so I could catch the end of nighthorse. Then I watched the first portion of crimson and then headed to checkout my horse. I HAD MY POTATO BACK!!!!!! Once I climbed in her saddle and the ride started I realized how much I actually missed her.... I'm starting to want her back instead of Warrior because I had her for so long. We had an amazing ride together including some flying lead changes!!!!!! But as far as the team went.... not so good. I was 1-2, then I got called to ride 2-1, and finally 2-7. Our whole ride was just a mess, and during the last drill a girls horse got pushed out of propeller and tripped on his feet, stumbled and fell on her legs. My team had the perfect reaction and we all immediately stopped and moved away so first aid could do their job. She got taken to the hospital but had no broken bones and should be riding with us next week! I really hope that we will get it together soon because senior year is sucking right now :(. I unsaddled GoldDust and Stretch and got Honey ready for vaulting. As soon as warm ups started I could feel something wasn't right, she was limping so I took her back up top while my partner went to get an owner horse for us to use. We spent the class practicing vaulting while moving, butt vaulting, and running on the butts. If my partner makes circus horse and I don't I will probably quit, I'm beginning to get a little bored. Luckily we didn't have a horse to take home so I got to leave at about 6:15. So almost 12 hours.
