All the young horses are getting fresh as the prep wears off and all the oldies are getting tired…
That was really rough to watch him (attempt to) canter out of that fence. She really crawled to that last jump
Yes.
Yes, rides at Auburn.
I think it’s going to be a good family dinner at the Hagerty table tonight.
Right??
We’ve seen siblings do well in different years, but I don’t know how often it’s happened in the same year.
Nice forward round by Christian.
Christian Dominguez has a hell of an eye. Great ride to the last oxer. Unfortunate about the 7. And about his lack of tie pin. Hopefully it popped out after the last fence so it didn’t ruin his photos.
That’s the way to ride that last jump, Christian!
Damn, Maddie!
Maddie - nailed it.
It was impressive the way she broke up the line to the last jump so she could still ride up to it in the 11.
Maddie’s not messing around.
I just love Daktari 38. He would be my pick.
One of the kids at the barn got a horse that is of similar color and Mom is convinced he is the second coming of Maddie’s horse… (he’s not)
Drives me crazy that the announcer says “Terreee Bon”, it’s Terabon. It’s a wide spot on Highway 97 in Central Oregon. How do I know this, I was born in Prineville, a larger spot in CO. Interesting family, the Hagertys. Phil Knight of Nike fame has a quarter horse farm in Terrebonne and the Hagerty’s run it for him. I have no idea how they afford this but the girls are doing pretty well.
Taylor - not only nailed it but hammered it home. What a beautiful ride.
I would guess that you just described how they afford this. Phil Knight is paying them to run his QH farm. (I had no idea he was horsey! Thank you for this trivia fact.)
Taylor’s not going home without a fight, either. Make them test!
Such an honest horse as well.
Unless Adriana absolutely blows the judges away, I think we’re having a work off. These last few have been very good.
Yup. Test Taylor, Maddie, and Adriana.
