After the jog and before walking the course, riders were out jump schooling with their respective coaches this morning. It’s an absolutely gorgeous morning here at Rolex for the final day of competition, and the horses I saw jump this morning looked keen and ready to go.

USEF Eventing High Performance show jumping coach Silvio Mazzoni was in the ring coaching riders, and Boyd was hanging out at the rail watching Phillip Dutton school Trading Aces, who looks fantastic this morning.

Hawley Bennett-Awad and Allison Springer were also out schooling for just a few minutes — just enough to ensure their horses are sharp and ready for the task at hand today.
