Looks like the South African made it into Sunday’s final. So exciting to see an African there! Lillie is on the list also. I’d love to see her win. I know, I know, it’s a long shot but still.

A well-deserved winner! Katie was the fastest clear. Chuffed that Vermento Whitaker also went clear in the last round.

That mare is fine, fine, fine! Love her. And Katie is slowly taking the place of Beezie in my heart.

I was sad that Lillie had the two rails - she was so amazing all weekend! But I was happy to see Julien win on his homebred horse. Very impressed with Katie Dinan’s rounds!

Ben Maher sure looked disappointed eh? Love watching him ride.

Now you have to go see the first photo of Katie Dinan sizing up the jumps. Her trainer is like, “No, Katie, higher.”

I had to look at it twice, and then I was thinking: Is it… is it cheese? Lol.
