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

Why Winter Why
Of course after I skip a week we get cancelled a bunch of times, ugh. But tonight we were finally back and I rode Stax! His saddle is painfully small but he's such a smooth responsive horse that I can forgive him for it. Such a sweetheart

Priorities suck sometimes
Well I decided not to go to adult ride this week, I couldn't justify it with my crazy homework load

WOW!!!
Well tonight was crazy, first I barely got a horse since we are limited due to Stock Show. But I ended up getting Rayo #85! I was really excited to ride him. I had very few issued catching him since I helped wrangle a lot. He was an easy groom and I was ready very quickly. He wasn't a fan of walking to the volunteer arena in the dark. He kept spooking and just stopping randomly. Once we got in the arena he improved immensely. He can be a bit forward and anxious but its not unbearable. His trot is quite bouncy but his lope is amazing and HIS LEAD CHANGES ARE AMAZING. All you have to do is shift your hips. I really loved him and I think I've found another favorite. So we rode our drill and I continue to call it since no one else has volunteered. Rayo LOVED IT hahaha he had so much fun. We tried loping it again and it was amazing!!!!! It went so well and our propellers were so fast! I haven't smiled so much in a long time. Rayo was VERY sweaty so it took me about an hour to get him dried off but it was worth it. Then he slimed me with his mash so that was fantastic hahahhaa.
