Decision Day

I asked the owner of Bo if I could ride him in a liberty class prior to deciding to lease him and she agreed, so I rode in WL4 and Bo did fantastic!!! I decided right then and there just to go for it. I felt like I couldn't pass this lease up. I rode my last rental horse in JI at 10am, Cisco. It was so weird thinking I won't ever rent again... After 4 years it's going to be a huge shift. For Red Ropes we were in the volunteer and we started playing around with some super cool trick ideas. One of them has two ropers dragging and two people spoke hoping around and then switching like a figure 8. Royal's walkthrough was cancelled so I got to go to Circus Horse Tryouts. I got SOOO close to getting on Jill by myself. Once I'm up I don't have an issues, it's just getting up that is difficult. We ended a little early so I got to watch some of my sister's ride at 12 and then the beginning of Crimson at 1. Bo was already saddled because he rode Nighthorse so I basically just adjusted everything and bridled him. Royal was a hot mess. We did warm ups for 35 minutes and had to individually practice turning 8's at a trot. Even when we finally got together and started our drills they weren't good. I rode 3-6 the first drill and 4-8 the second drill. OUTSIDE OF PROPELLER FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! After a year of waiting it was finally my turn. We didn't get to go as fast as we wanted to though because of how bad our team was doing. Bo was fantastic as always. I'm super excited to bond with him. I don't know why Royal is struggling so much but I hope we get it together soon because coming every week isn't as enjoyable right now. I had a nice break after that because vaulting wasn't until 5. We rode another one of my leaser's horses and she is gaited so she is super smooth!!! It was a really nice treat :) I helped load up the trailers and I headed home :) I sent out the emails and officially declared ownership! Looking forward to my first official saturday as an owner!!!!!
