I think Taylor still has it. Maddie 4th. Christian and Adriana stay the same for me, but the judges could feel differently.
For me, it’s Taylor, Christian, Adriana, Maddie.
Loved Taylor’s start but too bad she saw the distance to the hand gallop jump so far out that she slowed down a lot. The turns were beautiful and the halt great.
I’d move Christian up. I think he did enough.
Agreed! Taylor on top.
For me it’s
Taylor 1
Christian 2
Brian FFS. “Do you have a guess on who wins? If I were you I wouldn’t venture a guess.”
Well why did you ask, then? Gah.
FWIW, my assistant trainer (who’s there) has Taylor-Adriana 1-2, so maybe Adriana’s gallop was better in person.
Yeah, that’s Brian. [cringe]
I think Adriana really nailed the halt better than the others. But we’ll see what the judges think.
Enjoyed Carlee’s commentary, she did a great job
I’m shutting off the live feed and counting on you guys to feed me the results!
Yes, the only one to get a true square halt.
I liked Christian’s test best, but I seldom guess correctly.
And now the true heroes of the horse show, the jump crew. What a thankless job and they get it all cleared so fast!
As they’re clearing the jumps, I’m looking at the perfume bottle standards. I watched 170 odd people jump them in the first round without realizing that’s what they were until the interview with the jump guy after the break. Lol.
She really did have the best halt.
Oh god people, there’s a live mike, tread carefully.
There has been a lack of awareness of the microphones all day. You’d think somebody would have told somebody.
Yes, it was quite bad earlier in the day.
I like how they have the table full of coolers. “You get a cooler, and you get a cooler, and you get a cooler!”
