Courageous Comet looked super this morning – we will miss him, Becky, but he passed the trot-up with flying colours, as did his stablemate, Teddy, or Cant Fire Me. Both horses were gleaming white and immaculately presented, and Becky now goes forward to the CIC*** show-jumping holding the top two places. I’m also happy to report that Becky was moving very nicely herself this morning so hopefully her own leg is not quite so sore.
Can’t Fire Me goes into the Richland CIC*** Show Jumping in pole position.
All the three star horses were passed with no holds, or re-inspections, or even anyone being asked to jog again.
Jennie Brannigan trotted her horses up wearing Hawley Bennet-Awad’s jacket – we look forward to seeing Hawley competing again soon, I know she wishes she was here, but is enjoying some time at home in Canada while she recuperates.
Boyd still has the lead in the CIC** on Crackerjack. Melissa Hunsberger withdrew Starstruck from the holding box in this division, Nora Battig was held for reinspection with Steppin’ Out but then accepted, and Robin Walker did not present Freedom’s Light. All the others passed and go forward to show jump starting at about 1:30pm Sunday afternoon. The CIC*** show-jumps right before 11am and I’ll bring you more pictures from the jog later. Go Eventing in Michigan!
