Tuesday News:
The Olympic dream is looking more possible as COVID is finally moving toward being more contained in Tokyo. For the first time since November, daily cases have dropped below 200. While the International Olympic Committee remains adamant that the Games will go on, this public health crisis continues to threaten that.

Arena inspo! Sinead Halpin Maynard has something new to add to your jump day. It might look simple at first glance, but the best exercises are. She says this one will help teach rider responsibility, while giving the space to focus on equitation. [Grid Pro Quo with Sinead Halpin Maynard]
It was a small, plain bay mustang who lit a fire in 23-year-old Sam Goione’s heart. When she bought the mare from U.S. Bureau of Land Management, a partnership was cemented in stone. [Amateur Showcase: A BLM Mustang Makes All The Difference For Goione]
Tuesday Video: Advanced event pair Nita Sanfilippo and Alarmabull are now a Prix St George combination too:
Here's a bit of our Prix St George debut this morning! Bully was tense today, so it was difficult to navigate through the test. We made lemonade, and it was still good experience! We had many 7's on our score sheet… we also had a 3! Life with horses is always humbling.Bully the Advanced Horse is now also Bully the Prix St George Horse, and I am so proud of that. Looking forward to having another go next month!
