USEF Medal Final 2022

Yes, it seems to think that loud sentences are not sentences.

I appreciate Oliver’s encouragement for all of us to get up and move around at each break

[hillary_again]

This course does seem to be heavily weighted towards horses with big strides and scope. It almost appears to be the “juniors riding bay giraffes” class. Unfortunately, I think that tends to be typical of the medals finals. I went to the Maclay finals one year, and had the same observation.

I guess I can go on and fix my horse’s haircut. Lucky for all of you, I will keep my commentary to myself the next few hours! See you the second round!

[sarcam02]

She is such a good hard working kid too!

[MHM]

Interesting that 1/3 of the top six on the standby had rails, as I recall.

Jake’s round was lovely except for jump 3!! Ahh!! That’s a heartbreaker. His turn from 1-2 was the best I’ve seen.

[Tackpud]

Oops.

[ohnoO]

I’ll take Jake’s horse, thank you.
What a lovely canter!

[MissIntent]

I know it’s unlikely but I hope the judges put that on the horse and bring along for the list. He reacted to it really well too.

[sassy]

Arianna must be somewhere near the top. Although I’m sure I’ve jinxed her now.

[Tackpud]

Ariana - lovely round!!

[Amy3996]

I just went back and watched Isabella’s round. Really beautiful. Frustrating that the commentators spent her entire ride discussing the location of Calabasas, CA and paying zero attention to the nicest round we’ve seen so far today.

[DawgLady]

How do you go back and watch previous rounds?

[MHM]

I concur.

[Amy3996]

I’m watching from my phone, so I just used the control bar to scroll back until I found hers.

[Amy3996]

Is this satire or did you really come here to complain about a sidebar conversation that ended ~40 posts ago?

[MissIntent]

I didn’t catch the beginning of Madison Hill’s round but I really liked how she handled and rode the end - did anyone see the beginning?

[Amy3996]

First 3 jumps were lovely. Maybe lost the outside shoulder a touch in the turn from 1-2. Got really deep to 4 and had the rail down in front.
