I’m so excited to watch on the Friday (medium greens) as a family bred and pony that I broke and trained over fences qualified this year and shows with his super cute kid. Can’t wait to watch him go!!

One of the kiddos from out here is going in the regular mediums. So excited to watch the first PF competitor that I know personally… and I looooove her pony!

ETA - here is the order of go / who is in each section https://ky.showmanagementsystem.com/home/get_horse_show_for_date/d9509b17-7bbb-4434-bffa-839d041d1df6/2023-08-08

I’ve been trying to watch some of the model before a meeting and waiting for them to zoom the camera in even just a little tighter. Currently the view is from another ring over.
Not to whine but… I’m whining.

Congratulations!! How is it bred?

@Limerick2017 - He is a Section B Welsh x BRP (Morton’s Evensong x *Rosedale Top Cat)

Completely whining about the under saddle. Camera jigging bag and forth and WAY zoomed in so you couldn’t see a dang thing other than maybe 3-4 strides of a canter… then it went and half focused on the bleachers and the corner of the arena. I can’t read the back numbers since it is blurry and my kids pony looks close to another one so I am not 100% sure which one I’m watching. Argh! I am crossing my fingers that they can figure out how to track a pony over the over fences :confused:

ETA - don’t trust the video splits. Just realized that half of my section is on the previous section and I was able to pause to read numbers while everyone was walking. Footage is still bonkers with tons of zooming into the dirt as well.

Oh no! That’s the worst when you’ve got a kid and/or pony to look out for! I hope your pony had a good day.

I just now discovered the CMH link for the other ring with the model but a couple hours and a literal hundred ponies short. I can’t say if it was any better.

My mom caught a bit of the u/s livestream, section 11, I think, lol and said she could never judge something like this. Although she expressed that in less PF-friendly terms.

You can watch the replays (thank goodness). I had to pause, pull up a photo on FB, and then went to the end of another video so I could see what bows she had while they were lined up and I could read the numbers. That ended up being the easiest lol. I’m not sure how she did because they didn’t really capture the lineup as they exited the arena. I think maybe possibly was the fourth in her group, but that is a guess. She is up early in the division tomorrow so at least I won’t have to wait around to watch her!

Live scoring also available here too! For some reason it comes up in 2021 but if you adjust year to 2023, you’ll get this years show:

That is the same site as I posted above, but thank you for reminding me to check. The results hadn’t been posted when I posted early (class wasn’t over). Middle of the pack u/s and won her section in the model (in the top 30 for model) and in the top 40 with both combined. Not too shabby for her first and the pony’s first finals! So excited for her jumping tomorrow.

@blondewithchrome that is hero level, thank you! I will be bookmarking this.

Can someone please post courses

I don’t like watching with sound off but must it make that “breaking news” noise when the scores are posted?!

@DiamondJubilee and @rockonxox, do you mind sharing who we should be watching for?

#368… she is coming up! At this point 3 more ahead of her.

ETA… WOOHOO She did great. The rider before her must have scratched so she had the wrong name and entry # showing, but who cares. Great first Pony Finals for those two :slight_smile:

And I think I must have missed her for that reason! But, hey, great job to her and I was cheering in my heart!

ETA: I think I did catch the last little bit of her round and it looked great! Very cute pair!

Right? We had it on in the barn waiting for our kid to go and the horses in the ring were not fans. :rofl:
