So my last few weeks at Westernaires have been pretty similar, so I've grouped them into one post. Ropes has been going really well I will be performing Step Through, Tandem Spoke Hop, Texas Skip, and 60ft! I'm really pleased with the tricks I'm getting to do as they are difficult tricks that I've been trying to perfect :) Liberty has been a blast - it's been making me really sad though because I've been loving it so much and I only got a short time on the team. Then royal has been having walkthroughs and okay rides. We are definitely not as prepared as we could be but still ready none the less. My positions are Sat. Morning (4-7) Sat. Matinee (4-6) Sat. Evening (4-3) and Sunday (1-1). September has been flawless and we are really starting to work well together, very glad she's been able to help me out and fill in.
On some sad news.... Bo has made TREMENDOUS improvement, and he is able to walk without a limp now. With a good warm up he can lope and trot almost completely normal. However, his owner, my instructors, and I have agreed that it is in his best interests not to perform at annual show, even for just the graduation drill. I am heartbroken that I won't be able to graduate off of my best friend but his comfort is more important to me. We have worked out a little surprise that I will share with you later though!
Next week is my last practice....so ready to leave but so not at the same time.
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
