Missy Ransehousen and Critical Decision completed a copybook clear round over the somewhat troublesome Advanced course at Poplar, moving one step closer to another crack at Rolex CCI****. Although they had taken an early lead in their division after the dressage phase, time penalties were the last thing on MIssy’s mind, but instead making sure that her horse was attentive and accurate – which he was to a fault. I caught up with Missy after her round, and she kindly stopped to chat about her ride, one of her students and of course, the Paralympics in London later this summer.
A bit random, but I was admiring the picture of them both and realised that Missy is one of the very few people I know who still goes cross country without gloves – she’s so old school! I was thrilled to see her and BG in such fine form, and look forward to it continuing all the way through that Sunday afternoon in Lexington, fingers crossed. Many thanks to Missy for stopping to chat, and thanks for reading. Go Eventing!
