Hmmm, I think I’d test Audrey, Catalina, Hannah, Tessa, Natalie, and Zayna. Not necessarily in that order.

But I’m still not as mad as I was about the turn on the haunches when Emma Fletcher won over Jordan Allen. To me, in the scheme of maddening finals results of the past 15 years, it goes that, then Hayley/Sam, then the Two Test Tribulation of 2021.

Oh I love that title
In all seriousness, I like the no stirrups test here. I still watch Taylor St. Jacques’ test from 2017 Medal Finals with Charisma in absolute awe of how well she jumped around without her stirrups.

Damn, I thought I’d hear it a second time and then my husband happened to start talking to me right after he said “counter canter fence 11”
I’m glad you can hear that work-off, because first of all the audio is bad, but also my husband is home watching hockey and there’s too much screaming going on for me to understand what’s going on.
Did you say they’re doing the work-off without irons?!
50 Tessa
101 Catalina
38 Zayna
1 Audrey, WAY TO FREAKIN’ GO GIRLFRIEND, whatever happens from here, you rock.

Here we go!
Did anyone see where the markers were actually placed? I did not.
ETA Ah. There they are.
Curmudgeon hat on- that was not a hand gallop.
That wasn’t much of a hand gallop.
In the spirit of no stirrup November

They’re at the top of the ring right on the apex of the turn.
Tessa’s counter canters were impressive.
