2024 USEF Medal Finals Watch Thread

Well, this is perfect timing! I just had a lesson and stopped after untacking to check the standings. I have just enough time to put my horse away and grab a beverage!

Well, I got stuck in traffic on the way home, then spent the entire break troubleshooting my chromecast, which hasnā€™t been working all day. Itā€™s decided it will only take input from my husbandā€™s phone. And he doesnā€™t care about medal finals. Back to the laptop!

Regrettably Emi Richard has a stop, but addresses the rest with good style. I havenā€™t seen her ride much since last year. She looks great!

She has to be young too, so I think she has several more years.

Emiā€™s horse forgot his fake tail!

Yes she does. Sheā€™s matured a ton in her use of her position, and she clearly has mental game to be able to handle the stop and re-presentation with such composure.

It got braided into his barnmate. There are a couple who have looked like AQHA nationals out here with their big fat obviously fake tails.

I thought Anna Markcrow had a lovely round minus the break. Gutted for her that happened.

Second round course is winning.

And as soon as I say that, a lovely trip from Adriana Forte.

The inside turn is there! Now someone needs to do it a little more smoothly- that produced a little helter skelter for the next four jumps- but Capri throws down the glove!

Capri Truesdaleā€™s round was really slick. Tidy inside turn and found the combo moving forward.

Just got back from clipping in time to catch Capri Truesdaleā€™s second round. Just gorgeous, and I really really love that horse!

I thought the first half of Capriā€™s trip seemed a little rushed and the inside rollback not very smooth. The second half was quite nice though.

And man that horse was there for her!

I donā€™t think the course is winning but I do think itā€™s a proper test.

That was a bummer rail for Schuyler

Schuyler has such classic American forward seat hunter style. Love the way she just melts her horse forward and back.
