The countdown is beginning!

We have moved out of the March move up season and I couldn't be more glad. After yesterday there are only 11 weeks until Estes Park and there is a lot of work to be done. My day started out with my last day of Nighthorse Grading. We got our Trainer Pins and it was very bittersweet but I'm excited to have my mornings to myself again. Then I had a walkthrough at 12. I walked 1-8 and 1-4. I went and watched a little bit of Crimson and went and got Bo ready :) he was pretty clean since he had roman earlier that day. Royal was a mess but not our worst ride. We were video taped and we will be analyzing the ride in a classroom next week. This was very helpful last year so I hope it has the same effect this year. I called warm ups for the ride and rode the two spots from walkthrough in addition to 1-1. So I got to call the drill too! Bo did fantastic as usual. He and Trinidad really don't get along well. Bo is terrified of him. But he was extra suborn with his lead changes, I sure hope we get those worked out. Red Ropes was at three so that was kinda weird. I am getting super close with step through and I practiced Texas a little. It needs show thing but it's still there. I had a break and headed to Vaulting with Jack. We basically just ran our new riders through the drill and practiced. I rode base for the whole ride but thats okay, I'm stronger as a base rider anyway. I helped load the trailer and headed home. It was a very long day :)
