It’s a busy edition of Weekend Winners for you this Monday morning! While competing certainly isn’t solely about results and winning, the spirit of our Weekend Winners column is intended to encapsulate the elation we feel when we’re out competing with our horse. We celebrate not just the division winners, but also the small wins we all are grateful for. Did you improve on your dressage score? Get a nice remark from a judge? Move up a level? Move down a level and gained more confidence? Finally conquered that scary jump on course? We’re celebrating YOU each and every week — be sure to tag your social posts with #goeventing and/or #WeekendWinners so we can celebrate your win next week!
In that same vein, this week we’re starting a new tradition in Weekend Winners by shouting out someone’s winning moment. This week’s goes to Morgan Batton, who piloted her own I’m Sew Ready to a win in the Intermediate Rider division — but not without some drama, as her stirrup buckle broke over fence 11 on cross country. We’ll call that a big win! Nicely saved, Morgan.

I have an Advanced horse!!!!
Riot was a little rockstar and made light work of most of that course! Super proud of this horse and the journey we’ve had to get here- I bought him straight off the track in July 2015 and it’s been a lot of dreaming and hard work to get here. So excited to keep working on the pieces and excited about the bright future ahead for my lovely Riot Act!!Quick shout out to the people in my corner- my mom Dorothy Bouquet who has been on board this journey literally from the moment I picked him up and was there for us at the start box today.
Emerald Valley Natural Health who keep this horse looking and feeling like a rockstar through their nutritionals
Andrea Meoak who has been helping us chip away at better dressage
And Bobby Costello who is helping me find the and use the next gears in the jumping phases!
And all my friends – you guys inspire me and I appreciate the support!Posted by Emma Lomangino on Saturday, February 26, 2022
