Maclay finals

I think whatever you’re doing on Sunday, you should change your plans. Just sayin’.

Nope only those willing or able to pay clip mmyhorsetv fees.

Can’t. Have to submit this in 11 days.

Pfft.

What’s more important? Watching the Maclay for 12 hours or getting your PhD? Come on, man. Lol.

Looks like she’s riding Charisma!

I love Charisma so I hope she is, but in the training today she’s also riding Fix Blue and Famous, so I think it might still be up for debate? I’m curious who she’ll be on the day of.

I would think they would probably put her on a horse who has already won the finals multiple times if they can, right? I’m not familiar with the others, but Charisma certainly has the track record behind him.

That being said, horses being horses, it’s always a good idea to have a spare as a back up, just in case.

This archive of past winners is always worth a look around this time of year to appreciate how some of these horses are truly equitation specialists who come back and win or get ribbons at the finals year after year after year with different kids.

Do they really mean walk/drag or just drag?

Quite possibly walk/drag. That’s what they’ve done for the last couple of years, so maybe they’re going to continue that routine.

It is Walk/Drag on the Minute-by-Minute schedule (with back numbers): https://nhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/22NHS.MbM_.Wk2_.v7.11-1.pdf

It is amazing, isn’t it?

So any chance that the live stream will be the same size as it has been all week? Or is going to be pay for view via ClipmyhorseTV minute screen?

If you look at the minute by minute schedule it specifies walk times by back numbers, so it must mean drag and walk. Far more humane than having to walk at 6 am when you go towards the end of the order. Also, less congested walking.

Yes, I think it actually started as a Covid related measure. But it makes sense to stick with it.

It’s funny that there are 220 on the start list this year. Not quite as many as Harrisburg, but not far from it.

Just enlarge the screen on your computer – works great!

FYI the FEI power and speed class is streaming on YouTube at 9:15.

I’m cheering for #221 Lily. Hometown rider and last year junior. Fingers crossed for a way better outing than at the medals 3 weeks ago.

Then she turns around and hauls to Toronto for the royal and the Cet finals.
