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

White Division Show 2017
Liberty practice was interesting to say the least hahaha. Vaulting didn't practice and ropes we just practiced for Estes. I am performing Tandem Spoke Hop, Lay Down, Step Through, and Texas Skip, so I a quite pleased with my tricks! Anyway so Liberty I couldn't ride Bo because he was performing with Evergreen Drill Team! So I rode a friends horse named Juno. Well she is very very very bouncy and was extremely buddy sour. She dodged the jumps twice and she has nothing to hold onto so I fell. Twice. It hurt a little but I got back on. I sat out the second drill because my asthma was acting up and I didn't want to push it. My instructors told me I could still call the drill for the show tonight so I was fine with that! After Liberty was over I got food and waited for show check in. I got my quick change area situated and got all the tack out of the trailer once it arrived. The show went really smoothly! Bo mostly behaved for Vaulting. A few baby bucks but he did really well! I was apprehensive about Liberty and I really wanted to hit as many jumps as I could so for the first time ever I kept my bridle on. I was kinda ashamed but I want to enforce the jumps. Well Bo really made me proud. We missed our hopscotch jump but we did the mariners cross and pass through! AHHHHHH so proud of him!!!!!! And calling went great too! The whole drill was amazing considering half the team was owners from WL3. It was definitely weird having an owner only show but the whole organization handled it very well! I came out crying because I was so proud of Bo! We only had one halt ho in our drill too! It was a very successful show night and it was nice and short too because of the modified teams.
