I Didn't Drop the Flag!

Greetings Earthlings!

So, last Sunday (May 17th), I went to my Tejas Riders May Playday.
For those of you how don't quite understand, let me sum it up!
Ok, so Tejas Riders is like a horseback riding club and the Playday is where we show off our skills by doing drills and racing barrels.
Well, I missed April practice so I had no clue I was going to be setting pivots. Pivots are where you go in (Holding a BIG flag) do a small drill and then set up for the rest of the group to weave around you. When the end retches you, you catch on the end.
I didn't know I was going to be doing that until about two hours before I had to do it. I had never done it before, and then had no time to practice. And I was leading it. Gah...
I did pretty well though and it turned out great. I didn't drop the flag! That made me happy.
But EVEN BETTER!

I also got chosen to ride in with the Texas flag!!!!!!!!
A HUGE Honor, second only to riding in with the American flag. We kinda ran around the arena a few times (On horses, DUH.) The Texas flag was heaver than the pivots by, like, five pounds or so.
And I didn't drop the flag! Nope, I never let go of it. Granted, when the wind shifted, I DID get a face full of Texas flag. So did Bueno, my favorite horse. But, aside from that, I think I did FLIPPIN' AWESOME!
Oh, and I got a killer sunburn on my arms. But still... Most awesome day of my life! So far...

Until Later!
