Midweek motivation from Taylor Harris Insurance Services FB page.
Ok quick rant time: when did show jumping warmup in the lower levels become such a maniacal time? I’ve been away from the lower levels for a hot second, and I’m surprised that Training level is a situation where I need to bring 1-2 people with me to the ring in order to have a jump that I can use that isn’t being owned by another rider. I learned my lesson at VHT, and this weekend I’ll be sure to bring a helper, but PSA to everyone out there, please be nice and share your jumps with me even though I don’t have a ground crew following me around!

We love hearing Mark Todd tell us about the happy retirement of his longtime partner, NZB Campino. “Kinky” as he is known around the barn, has stepped away from competition at the age of 17, but remains in Mark’s yard enjoying his retirement by being pampered out of his mind. A quirky boy but highly successful with several FEI wins on his record, Kinky is definitely one for the record books. [Mark Todd Reflects on Olympic Partner]
With no Triple Crown in sight this year, the Belmont Stakes is a wide open field with a big win at stake. Ten top class contenders will duke it out this Saturday, and my pick is Everfast for three reasons. He just had a great Preakness with a second place, he’s got a good inside post position, and also he has a perfect name for racing. [Belmont Stats & Odds]
