USEF Medal Final 2022

Eleanor Rudnicki’s horse is a gorgeous jumper. Such a shame about the miscue there.

I was really rooting for her :frowning:

Lovely ride from Paige Walkenbach. Little rub at fence 5(?) but otherwise beautiful on a veteran Eq horse in Mac One III.

Smooth, soft ride from Chloe Fares, and in a snaffle no less. Maybe a swap to the last?

I have been using the drag breaks as an excuse to get off the couch and switch my laundry. There is nothing like a day of Medal Finals and household chores!

I think you can just drag the bar back from live to the time point you want to watch at?

Unfortunate for Kate Mills but the writing was on the wall there from the moment she picked up that canter. Just not enough impulsion or pace from the word go.

Horses contribute to my house needing cleaning. Therefore, it is horse related. Checkmate, buzzkills.

Kate Mills’ horse’s star is very interesting. Almost faded. She’s doing an okay job recovering from that inevitable second fence though.

Sophia Bruny’s horse is one of those types who covers up imperfect distances really well.

Caitlyn Gidley greatly surpassed my expectations from her opening circle.

Is Bella Primavera’s horse a unique color or a chestnut who turns an unfortunate grayish when clipped?

Looked to me like it didn’t clip out that well. My mare would get that kind of mousey grey tinge if I was unlucky with when I had to clip.

Lovely round for Luke Jensen

I don’t think it’ll make the standby, but decent workmanlike round for Elizabeth Gray.

Alexandra Mikhail seems to me like she’s got the Medal Finals jitters and it’s making her get jumped loose over most of these jumps.

Aw, I love the big pats and hugs for her horse at the end though. Good on ya, kid.

Also @Renn_aissance I just realized that I think Facebook has been listing you in my “suggested friends” for literal years and I managed to not make the connection about who it was lmao
