Monday News & Notes from Futuretrack

Allison Springer hugs her longtime groom, Paige Ansaldi, on finding out she’d won Bromont’s 4*-L. Photo by Sally Spickard.

I wanted to take a moment this morning to send a shout to those who go mostly unseen within our sport, though not at all unappreciated. This isn’t the best photo I’ve ever taken, but I wanted to capture the moment Allison Springer found out she’d won the Bromont CCI4*-L, hugging and high-fiving her longtime groom, Paige Ansaldi. There is so much effort that goes into winning an event — heck, forget winning, just think about getting to an event, period. There are so many people involved in the care of the horses, the organization of the events, the planning of the logistics – the list is endless. So, to each and every one of you involved in these weekends and all of their highs and lows: thank you. This sport is nothing without you.
