Oh man, other than running my own cross country round this weekend, I’m looking forward to the Bareback Puissance at Plantation Fields. I don’t know if these people have extra grippy pants, or sticky spray that’s actually Gorilla Glue, or just horses with really flat backs, but I am pretty sure if I attempted it on my horse I would be launched into space. Last year was especially exciting as Caroline Martin won at 5’11 with her own Nacho, while others valiantly tried and came just short of the mark. I’ve included several riders in the 5’8 round, and then Caroline’s winning jump just to get your blood pumping for this Sunday’s challenge. Go Bareback Puissance!!
