Lots going on around the Eventing Nation this weekend!
First things first, we must give a shout-out to Chattahoochee Hills Training level competitor Sophie David, of Moreland, Georgia, who brought THIS ADORABLE BABY GOAT with her to the event.
Its name is Goatie. Thank you for the joy you have brought us all, Sophie!
Also, this random chicken, as seen at Chatt Hills.
A couple notes, and then we’ll count down the winners.
- The lowest finishing score in the country belonged to Tik Maynard and Santiano, who scored a 22.5 in Open Beginner Novice at Chattahoochee Hills. Tik also had the second lowest finishing score, a 23.1., with Galileo in the same division. Well done, Tik! Did you hear he has a book, In the Middle Are the Horsemen, coming out in June? We shared excerpts from it last week — check them out here and here.
- The winningest rider of the weekend was Chelsea Kiernan, who won both divisions of Novice at Kent School with Calypsos Dream and KC’s Michelangelo. A blue for each hand, Chelsea!
