Interclub, and Exciting Rides!

Friday night was Royal. I rode Squirt! He did great for grooming and he really has calmed down since the last time I rode him. We rode 4-6 twice and 1-1 twice. He did great and our drills are finally starting to make our time limit. our precision is falling a part a little though, but we are definitely getting closer to being estes ready! Squirt never really tried to take off he just got really excited! But he was very responsive and a lot of fun. Then on Saturday I was pretty busy. I had a team meeting for estes and we got awesome team t shirts and our stall cards. Estes is happening but it's going to be different as we are staying in cabins and not the gym which is good and bad. Then I had liberty so I had to change and sanitize. Bo was in a really bad mood. He did dump me over one jump and wasn't listening so we put his bridle back on. I still called most of the drills but I don't know if I'll ride there for show because Bo doesn't lead very well. Then back into renter clothing to go to ropes! I finally started to get texas skip back and my tricks were all starting to come together. And then I had to change and sterilize yet again to go to vaulting at 5pm. We brought in as many owner horses as we could and had the renters switch out half way through the drill. It's hard to believe we have been under this quarantine since easter! Overall it was a good day but I was super tired. But that didn't stop me lol I went to Bo's place and rode for another few hours to make sure he is staying in shape for when he get's to come back to team. Then on Sunday was my last Interclub! I got to announce Class #4 and I participated in several skits (Tug of war, pony jousting, water gun car, horse princess rider game, and stick horse liberty) I rode Alice for the pony jousting and she was really stubborn. It didn't help that we couldn't get into the tack room so we had to ride them with halters and lead ropes. But I still give hoedowners a whole new respect. I also presented ribbons for several classes as well. It was a long hot day but it's a senior tradition I'm glad I took part in.
