One of my favorite things to see when perusing social media on Sunday evenings is the proud accomplishments from riders at all levels. From a first event to a debut at a level, and everything in between, every weekend is full of those little moments that remind us why we chose this sport as home. Of course, we must learn to take the highs with the lows as you must in every endeavor, but we can take solitude in one fact: there will be another weekend to give it your all. If this weekend wasn’t a high for you, that’s ok! Find one big takeaway and one thing to improve, and set your sights on the next event. If this weekend was a high – congratulations! Enjoy it. You deserve it.
This weekend, the lowest finishing score comes to us from our neighbors in the north at Grandview Farm in Ontario. Penny Rowland and Alekhine finished their Pre-Training (or USEA Novice) on a score of 17.8 They were, in fact, tied for the lead with Lindsay Beer-Drury and RREF FerroStyle, who also earned a 17.8. Penny’s closer time to the optimum won her the win!
