How are we all doing?  Great, I hope! 

Well, well, well…Time sure has flown by!  The long anticipated show was last Saturday!  And what a long day it was!  It didn’t end up being dreadfully hot, but thanks SO much for Colonel Chefalo allowing no helmets for part of the day.  That made the day so much nicer.  Everyone did a really awesome job drilling; it was so exciting!    So, on behalf of Troop H, congratulations to every single troop for looking so good!  Yay, go Blue Shadows, we’re cool!

The day started out with inspection, which Troop H placed 5^th in.  There was definitely some tough competition!  Throughout the day, Troop H watched most of the other troops drill and watched equitation classes.  In Troopers equitation, Trooper Eden Young won 7^th place.  And although our TFCs and Corporals had great equitation, we did not receive ribbons in those classes.  In Sergeants Equitation, 1^st Sergeant Alexa Rodriguez won 5^th place and Platoon Sergeant Morgan Young won 7^th place.  In Officers Equitation, Captain Laura Steibel won 3^rd place.  Good job Troop H!!!

 Troop H was the very last troop to drill.  How we always end up that way, no one knows; so it was fun pushing those tired horses during our drills.  Troop H had an awesome planned drill performed perfectly.  2^nd Lieutenant Brittany Ames drilled the planned drill without any flaws, Yay!  Captain Steibel drilled the impromptu beautifully, which we did pretty well.  All our hard work paid off and Troop H walked away with the blue ribbon!   

So, until next time, have fun and once again, congratulations!

 1^st Sergeant Alexa Rodriguez
