It’s been overall a great week in Venice for us, with a couple bumps yesterday that were fixed today:) Marin and Happy have been leading us off the past two days with two wins in the .60m jumpers, and a 2,4 in the .70’s. But more importantly, they’re jumping around the .70’s finally with no issues! Danielle and Mary finished the USHJA hunters yesterday with a reserve champion; then started today’s low adult division with a 1,2,2:). Jen and Simon have had a solid week, yesterday placing 3rd behind two Grand Prix riders in the open 1m; today finishing 3rd in the .95 classic. Lily and saki struggled in the ring yesterday, but a couple changes along with starting in the .70’s to build the mares confidence paid off. They ended with a 2nd in the .70’s,4th in the .80’s, and then clear in the .9 classic with a rider gps failure at the final jump in the jump off, but they finished to pull off a 7th placed ribbon in their first time out in that height together (also only their 2nd show as a team!). And Nicole and Kandy came back after a hiatus, and were a bit rusty yesterday in the big ring. But this morning they came back to put in a stellar round in the open 1m for the win, and almost had a super round in the 1.10 but Kandy questioned the combination on the end. So back to homework to come out even stronger the next time!💪 Proud of my group and their great sportsmanship and horsemanship they’ve shown all week! One more day to finish our week off tomorrow in Venice ❤️
