He must really be getting up there in age. He did look great.
Anyone catch all the numbers of the first flat group?
I canāt help but wonder how on Earth theyāre all ending up bunched together in a ring this largeā¦

If Iām looking at the right one on the USEF site, heās 18 this year. Foaled in November?? That seems odd. Unless maybe he was born in the southern hemisphere.
Will some be called back for additional testing after the flat?
Yes, especially after the announcer basically told them the ring was so big they shouldnāt get too far away from the judges.

I think they said 14 will jump again. Then maybe test the top 4 or so if necessary.

Quite the snazzy car for a prize. Iād expect any kid would enjoy driving that.
Though in some states (including Colorado) they could be mistaken for a Cop.
Is there a meaning as to which flat group the riders have been placed?
I think itās reverse order of preference? Although within the sections Iām not sure.
I believe the ones in the ring now are the top riders.
Traditionally the last flat group would be the best, which would also be my assessment from the trips I saw.
