Good morning! I set my alarm a bit early today so that I could begin obsessively checking scores at Galway Downs today. Many of my favorites are out for the first time this season, and I also have a friend who is making her eventing debut this weekend so I of course have to keep tabs on that. Best of luck to riders around the country who are competing this weekend. I’ve also been stalking looking for working students who would like to be interviewed for a new series we are launching titled “Working Student Diaries.” Our first subject works for Phillip Dutton, and she’s got all the scoop on the quirks and personalities of our favorite Dutton horses (sneak preview: Mighty Nice definitely feels his oats every day!). Are you currently working hard for an upper level rider? If so, we’d love to get an insider’s perspective from you! Email [email protected] if you or someone you know would like to participate.
