Adriana’s doing herself proud this season! Rooting for her.

Grace Sappington moved up 12 spots! Good for her. Brooke dropped a fair amount though :frowning:

Do I have 15 minutes to stop at the grocery store before the first one goes?

Yes, they have to build a bit and walk

Yes. They’re still setting the course, and then they will have to walk it and get warmed up.

Thank you!

Re. no stirrups: I hate to cross my irons. My horse doesn’t want those things banging around on his shoulders! If I do my job right, my leg will hold the iron against his side and it’ll tap the girth if it moves.

That Palm Springs Academy music is starting to get to me.

I’m going to be hearing it in my dreams tonight lol

The caissons were quite spectacular back in the day.

Interesting that basic flat work changed the standings so much. Kate Hagerty, Blake Rowan, and Rylynn Conway all moved way up.

I thought it was fun to see how the spectators all got dressed to the nines back in the day.

Break out the furs and the pearls!

Ahhh, I’m bummed for the younger Hagerty girl. It’s hard to be second (to your older sister) all the time.

On the other hand, the younger one has more years left as a junior.

I feel exactly the same. And there always seems to be a funny lump from the leather at my stirrup bar that gives me a bruise on my inner thigh…I’d rather pull them off entirely if it’s a long no-stirrups session, or just let em hang for a short exercise/test in the ring.

I’m sorry no one ever taught y’all the proper way to cross them over. Hold the iron against his side?! :roll_eyes: OK.

I really hope every single one of those horses from the flat phase got a chance to go back in the stall, get the tack off for a few minutes, get a drink, eat a little hay, and relax for a bit.
