Kate Samuels and Nyls du Terroir.
While most of us are enjoying the rigors of the normal work week and suffering through “Hump Day,” others in Aiken, SC are having fun at Full Gallop’s annual mid-week one-day horse trial. EN is batting 1000 today, with our own Jessica Bortner-Harris and Kate Samuels winning their respective divisions. Congrats, ladies! Way to keep your insanity in the middle!
Looking at the scoreboard, many riders are incurring time penalties on cross-country. In early February, this is pretty normal– most are out for the first time after a winter break, and there’s no need to crank up the engine just yet. Most of the dressage scores are in the 30s for Prelim and above, which makes Kate’s 24.1 on Nyls stand out; her flatwork this winter must really be paying off! Great job, Kate!
