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

Potential Lease!
Yesterday was exciting! I rode my boy Warrior for JI at 8 and they tried out for Junior Grand Entry, he did amazing as usual. Then I graded from 9-11 for Nighthorse. After that I watched my sister in Nighthorse and she rode Warrior! I was so happy for her. Then at 1:30 instead of going to the wrangler table I went to the trailers. I was trying out a lease horse named Bo. He's a quarter horse draft horse mix. He's also a dun so he is gorgeous :) His gaits are incredible so that's a huge plus. The tips of his ears are black so it looks like they have been dipped in charcoal. We rode 4-1, 3-2, and 2-4. So team all three drills! He did great and was super tired at the end. We were splitting at the rail getting ready to come out and we were going right and he turned right and then shot to the left so that threw me off balance and for some odd reason he bucked. I flew and hit the dirt. HARD. I had the wind knocked out of me. I had first aid guys with me in seconds. They got me breathing right and let me stand when I was ready. I turned around and got back on and trotted back to my team at the crows nest. I am SUPER sore today but otherwise unharmed. The posse guys complimented my tuck and roll lol. I rode liberty a few hours later on Amigo and called all three drills. He did great! I'm hoping to get a call for another Red Liberty tryout soon. I need to try Bo out in liberty before I decide to lease him for that reason. But I'm feeling good about it!!
