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

Disappointment :(
Well sadly I don't have a very happy post this week. One of the ponies has a very contagious disease called strangles. We think it was brought in by one of our newly purchased horses but we aren't sure. We also aren't sure of which horses have been exposed which means westernaires and my last chance to do easter parade were cancelled. I couldn't believe that it was cancelled two years in a row :( at least now that I'm an owner I can do one of the red division parades in August. Saturday I still had classroom and turned in my trainer dreamcatcher drill, and Royal had our meeting where we reviewed the videos from the ride last week. I did get to go see Bo today and I helped bath him and the other horses. It was a lot of fun and I was glad I got to at least see him. Who knows when Westernaires will be out from quarantine.

It's really sad, but I'm sort of excited right now, because I now have an oppurtunity to practice my riding out of Westernaires!
