Oh Jennie… I think it’s gotta be the casts that wins this for ya! After undergoing some “proper hand surgery” post-Maryland, Jennie challenges fellow eventer Lainey Ashker to a Who Wore It Best battle — her Highest-Place First Timer Burghley sash vs. Lainey’s recent Plantation win’s blue ribbon. Lainey herself is no stranger to gruesome riding injuries after a face-bloodying fall earlier this summer, but has called for a poll amongst our fellow (wo)men to help her compete with the double-hand-cast gauntlet thrown her way.
Also, I’m sorry Jennie, but is that a fireplace full of candles in the background? Because I love the way you’re thinking.
