Rodeo

Our rodeo went pretty well. I was unable to take Diamond due to the stress and no ride time I would have gotten with her.

Besides that, we rode in our costumes for drill. Our costumes consits of dresses and masks as our theme is Masquerade Ball. We had people, horses and dogs staring at us. lol It was a pretty good run though. A few dresses ripped due to trying to move our legs and things. Nationals is Tuesday!!! :D I'll be leaving Tuesday evening around midnight in order to haul in the coolness and without traffic. So pumped!

See you all after Nationals!

Drill

We had drill last night. It was a really nice night to go ride. I got to ride Diamond during warmup; then we just sat around and visited. She did really well, again! We were at a new arena, she hadn't been ridden or lunged in a week, and she acted like a perfect young lady. I get to take her to her first rodeo this weekend! :D I'm going to ride her in the grand entry. I'm so excited! I'm sure she'll do fine, she's not spooky at all! At the arena there were big tractors moving around, different horses, and cows. Not a single spook from her. She also slow loped again, which is amazing. She's coming around quite well and we've been getting asked if she's for sale XD I'll blog about the rodeo Saturday (or at least try).

Rain -_-

Sorry I haven't been blogging. This last week, I was gone camping as a counselor at a summer camp. Yesterday it poored down rain, cuased flash flooding, and we got about 1/3 of the yearly rain fall. Today is too wet to ride as we got up to 9 inches of rain yesterday. I get to ride Wednesday (tomorrow) for drill. My drill team reserved an arena that's indoor to practice at! Nationals is next week and nerves and stress are starting to seep in!

Diamond has gotten fat as I haven't been able to work with her. She's also turned moody again due to no work and all play. I get to ride her tomorrow at practice for a bit, so that'll help.

I'm also helping my friend look for her first horse :D She's excited that I can help and I'm excited she's letting me help. It's a good trade off.

I hope everyone's summer is going well! I'll blog probably Thursday! TTFN
