Thanks for the link!

You’re welcome. I am very impressed by Brian Moggre’s riding. He is never pulled out of balance or position by his horse.

It’s fun to watch the former EQ kids in FEI classes.

Katie Dinan is a very impressive rider as well.

Thanks for the link and reminder!! Who is doing the commentary?

Oliver Kennedy or John Kyle? and Dani Waldeman (sp?)

Lovely round by Laura Kraut to win.

It’s a bit of a shock, really.

Grace Debney definitely brought down the median age of the ribbon winners by a lot tonight. Lol.

:grin:Fun isn’t it? Watching the younger riders give the been-there-done-that riders a run for their money.

Watching the puissance on USEF TV. I wonder if I am the only person who cannot forgive Devin Ryan for this https://www.chronofhorse.com/article/young-jumper-winner-asked-leave-hampton-classic or USEF for putting him on the U.S. team.

I find it all to be horrible, this included; https://www.theplaidhorse.com/2019/06/06/devin-ryan-15-years-later-an-overnight-sensation/

I enjoy the WHIS. It’s always special and the riders really make an effort to make the show fun for the spectators.

Same, I can’t watch him.

BUT congrats to the Coyles and McLain on a great night! Catoki sure is something.

He has a little horse attitude doesn’t he? The lovely grey Irish horse looked as if he could go on forever.

Glad it’s not just me…

The Junior/A/O Jumpers are up next.

The WIHS EQ jumper phase and finals begin at approx. 4:05 pm (Eastern) on the USEF Network.

The World Cup 5* Grand Prix begins at 9pm(Eastern) on FEI TV.

I am currently stuck in traffic, but doing my best to be back at home in time for the equitation!

@skydy I cannot watch that troglodyte.

They’re just now walking the course of the high Junior/A/O jumpers.

I’m ashamed of USEF and of being from the U.S. every time I hear his name announced.

Ugh I’m almost certainly going to miss the eq, which I guess is probably better for whomever is leading b/c I won’t jinx them. I’m stuck at lab finishing up experiments for my thesis :sob:

Submitting it in like 2 weeks though, dr. shorty here I come!!
