I always feel a bit wistful as I pull up the weekend’s results each Sunday evening. I love sharing a tiny part of these riders’ successes and only wish I knew more back stories to share. If you have a cool one, I’m always looking for story tips. You can contact me by emailing [email protected] to share your tip. In the meantime, here are a couple of fun stories from this weekend:
While Doug Payne was busy picking up a win in the Blue Ridge Mountain Advanced at Tryon, his mother Marilyn was also having a winning weekend of her own at Flora Lea, taking home the blue in her Training division aboard SF Double Entendre. When they say talent runs in the family, they weren’t kidding with this bunch.
We have a tie this week for our Low Score Award; both winners competed at Flying Cross Horse Trials in Kentucky. Congratulations to Lauren Yeagy and Sound Prospect (Training) and Ainsley Slicker and Horizzon (Novice) on finishing their weekend on an impressive 20.2. And yes, that’s the Sound Prospect, Allie Knowles’ five star partner, you see! “Sounder”, who is 18 years young this year, has competed at the Training, Modified, and Preliminary levels this year with Nicole Aden, Madeline O’Brien, and now Lauren. What a treat to learn from such an experienced horse!
This finishing score was also a personal best for Ainsley Slicker, who has been partnered with Horizzon since 2017. Well done!
Lauren Yeagy getting to ride on Allie Knowles’s ride Sound Prospect is my favorite thing rn 🥺❤️
