What a day! Today was dressage day the stress level
was definitely high. Everybody
dealt with the atmosphere like a pro!
Elle and Pacino were first in the ring at 7:40 and had a few hiccups but held it
together for a strong finish of 61.2.
Next was Kaylawna and Metro and they’re ride was GORGEOUS! She finished with a 45.6 to win the
dressage phase!
Lulu was next and
she took to the ring like she owned it!
Maize was strong and confident throughout the entire test and she pulled
a 50.0 to tie herself in 6th position. After that we all enjoyed some lunch provided by the
Kentucky Horse Park and walked our horses in our beautiful white Professional
Choice brushing boots!
We are so
thankful to all of our supporters and know we could not make this journey run
as smoothly without them.
After
our little break, Kiera and X
entered the very large and intimidating Rolex Stadium for her dressage test. X was a big excited about the
atmosphere but she handled it beautifully and finished on a score of 60.2. After Kiera we went back to the barn
for a bit of cleaning.
We mucked
the stalls, raked the barn aisle, cleaning out the tack stalls and polished up
our tack. Once everything was
shiny and new, we headed back down to the stadium to watch Kate and Tessa take
on the Rolex Rings. Tessa was also
a bit overwhelmed with her surroundings but they held it together to finish on
a 59.6.
We all walked our cross country
course again to get a better lay of the land and then went back to the barns to
support Alex and Tiki for their CCI** premiere. They were wonderful and she finished on a score of 56.3 and is
currently sitting in 5th.
They are a great pair!
Overall it was a high-pressure day
and the turnout was nothing but positive.
We could not be prouder of everyone and all they have accomplished so
far. Thank you to our coach,
Hawley Bennett, and our Chef, Lauren Billys! We couldn’t do it without them! Now onto cross country!
