Moonshine would like a bite of that ribbon please.
They did. That was the group that broke my heart by coming in and riding a great trip with two swaps or a rail. That was a tough course and I hope theyāre proud of themselves.
ariana off course
Missed a jump
That was Adriana on the white horse, not Ariana on the chestnut. Iāve mixed up their names twice today.
6th - Adriana Forte - can we get some ears patrol here in the ring please? Cornet Z is not putting them up unless he gets a peppermint, he knows how this works.
I feel like Adriana could have been 3rd at least if she hadnāt missed the jump - she had a very nice test otherwise!
5th - Olivia Sweetnam. Hm.
Yes Adriana nailed the counter canters. She didnāt really have a hand gallop, but that would still beat out the missed counter canters I think.
I think she knew that too - she looked sad.
Efendiās a biter, apparently!
Efendi looks very very done for the day.
Did anyone else notice Andre didnāt say anything to her or pat her horse or anything? It was a little strange.
Ariana pins 4th and @sassy is clearly judging the same class the judges watched, whereas I was watching something else.
Yeah, Iāve seen him do that before, most notably when Sam Schaefer was 2nd way back in (I think) 2010.
It looked like he did say something to her briefly before walking away.
Sydneyās little kiss to her horse was very sweet and nice to see. Well done for her!
My first guess was right on the standings!
gotcha! I messed up too
Well done kiddo!
I donāt even try to place more than 1st and 2nd and Iām lucky to get those right.
I just donāt have the eye that many of you do.
