Maclay finals

[hypocritEQal]

his flaxen mane and tail are stunning too

[MHM]

Omg. Zayna just said she has another year left in the juniors, which means she must only be 16-17 years old. Props to her for agreeing to do this commentary all day long!

[LJD]

She’s really opened up without Ava in the booth, too.

[Renn_aissance]

Yup, I take back everything I said. She’s doing a great job!

[Mara]

Emily Dehoff’s horse is cute. Love his blaze.

[Renn_aissance]

Blythe Goguen’s cute little horse woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and he doesn’t really care who knows it. I liked how she took a minute to go wide out to 7 to settle him in, and it meant her turn in to 8 was well done. That ended with a more cooperative partner than it started. Well done her.

[hypocritEQal]

he is so cute! and only 16 hands according to his USEF

[hillary_again]

Wow, that fence 8 is really tricky. Darn for all these riders who are on good trips and then there you are.

[hypocritEQal]

in a snaffle and NO martingale for Signe Dixon!! very refreshing to see

[hillary_again]

And such a pretty jumper. Love those knees and that expression.

[Renn_aissance]

I was admittedly distracted by my dog, who decided she needed to be the cat police at just that moment, but I liked what I was able to see of her trip.

[hillary_again]

McKayla Brombach- nice riding! wow. Beautiful position and well-executed ride.

[hypocritEQal]

Luke Jensen is riding now.

[MissIntent]

I was holding my breathe but that was lovely

[Renn_aissance]

Excellent go for Luke. I did not love the 7-8 turn- it was sharp- but that’s really exemplified by the camera angle and I don’t know what the judges saw. Up at the top of my list for sure.

[This_Weird_Quirk]

Cannot deny that Luke finds the jumps and does it well, I just have such a hard time watching him lean lean lean and come away from the tack in the air.

[ilovetheadd27]

Lovely round from Luke! I am not a huge fan of his upper body position, but he is so soft and invisible and such a quiet rider I overlooked it this round. Definitely in the top!

[staceymc]

I thought Luke was quite deep into the first 1 stride, but I can’t tell if that is just the camera angle. Very “punchy” off the ground there. Otherwise a lovely round.

Any Given Sunday will forever be one of my favorite Little Engines That Could.

The longer I watch the more I dislike those colorful blocks.
