Man, horse showing really breaks your heart sometimes. Blake Rowan rode that beautifully and she and Ironman clearly have a relationship.

Man, JJ handled the pressure beautifully. I have a feeling he’s going to kicking around at the top of these finals for quite some time.
I can’t imagine being in that position at 13/14 years old. Good ride J.J.

Do we think there will be a ride off?? Really, do the judges want to lose their winner and 2nd?
Being Maddie and Olivia up, keep JJ and Ariana.

Test of minimum of 4 is required for this class.
That course was tough and these kids can horseback ride. Well attempted, everyone. Everybody did something awfully good in there, even if they also had something go wrong.

who do we think for the test? JJ and Ariana, clearly. Caroline Olsen, Maddie? Olivia and Paris if they take 6.
Unless I missed something, Sydney’s in there somewhere?
Had a swap off the base of (I think) the swedish.
Oooh I didn’t realize it was required. I thought at least one year there was no testing.
JJ, Ariana, Maddie, Sydney are my top 4. Would love to see Olivia if they take more
JJ, Ariana, Maddie, Sydney, Olivia if they want to test more than 4. Everyone else judged themselves into an order that I’m satisfied with.
You know. Because it’s my opinion that counts.

He’s not going to have to - he’s going to win them all in the next year and be done if he keeps that up!

90% of the whole dang class had a swap somewhere. Tricky tricky course designer!
I think some of the other riders had a more elegant position but that should come with age.
I was going to make a comment about testing here but I think I’ll wait until we’re done for fear of jinxing anything
