Today was the $3500 Jr/Am 1.30M Grand Prix. All week horse and rider have struggled with rails (at one point Rachel referred to herself as a "lumberjack" for all the wood she was laying down) but today it all came together. Although not a clean round, it was very well ridden and the effort put in by the little guy with the big heart was second to none. We couldn't have been more pleased with the result. Rachel & Stormy received tips from Gillian Henselwood which were much appreciated and special thanks to Jeff McKessock for laying the groundwork with his ongoing coaching and support.
Kudo's to the show organizers who excused jackets because of the extreme heat and humidity.
We've gone back to the farm for a few days of R&R but will be back at the show on the 19th!
That's terrific to get unsolicited advice from such icons of the sport. Congrats Rach & Stormy on a good round, and best of luck end of this week!
