Second to last was a little long and drapey, but otherwise very nice.
Caroline showed a lovely quiet ride. Barely saw her hands move.
Loved Elianaâs round but I felt fence 1 didnât show up great for her off the left. Off the right does seem to be working out smoother for some.
Yes, I thought she smoothed it out nicely though. Didnât look offensive
I got so excited for Rylynnâs hand gallop but then she collected so much in the last 3 strides and I cried a little.

They are all terrified to gallop down and miss. Completely goes against how all the horses are set up for these classes. Which makes it a very easy deciding point for the judge.

Carolineâs horse looked a little starstruck and quick, but she did a really nice job guiding him around and keeping it together
She looks like a peanut on that big-moving horse. I give her kudos for the strength of her position- it would be so easy for him to toss her around like a cork up there. Just looked like a little bit of a rider green moment where she committed to the hand gallop all the way back around the turn and then maybe didnât see it or felt like she was at the end of her stride and hit the panic button a little. Do you remember how old she is?

She made that 6 work really well.
I think the ages pop up if you click on the riderâs name on the original order of go.
I love Quite Cassini so much teehee such a metronomic canter

I feel like my definition of a great hand gallop with might differ a little bit from the commentators.

Damn shame about those rails
Some of these looooooonboi horses also just donât look like theyâre going anywhere in the hand gallop. If you look at the banners on the outside wall you can tell thereâs been a really big change in length of stride but that happens without moving to a four-beat rhythm.

Ugh thatâs too bad about the two rails for Noah, otherwise very workmanlike and composed

Wow Cody really laid that down, seemed like a better hand gallop than others in my opinion. Very precise with respect to the track.

Avery is accurate, but I wouldnât call that a hand gallop at all.
