These are the only pics I took today but they tell a lot of the story. The WGF IEA Team competed at their fourth show of the season at the beautiful today. We were able to ride outside, which was amazing, on their fabulous IEA mounts, and between the great weather, great venue, great courses, great judging and stewarding, great support, great volunteerism, great food, and absolutely great mounts, the WGF IEA Team pulled off High Point Team and Reserve High Point Rider (.eventing04 ).
Riders who pointed out today, on show 4 out of 5, who will be attending Regionals, include: Bella DiMino-Intermediate Fences, Rory Tryka-Intermediate Flat, Camryn Brown-Novice Fences and Novice Flat, Ashley Seweryn-Novice Fences, and Elizabeth McCrossan-HS W/T/C.
I believe that our High School Team set a personal barn record, today, for our highest points earned at a show to clinch the W: 39.
The scores and ribbons never quite speak of the team's dedication to the horses...Joee and Boston were extremely well cared for today while they toiled for the good of the region along with the other four-legged friends, or the good will the kids showed each other, or the first pep talk to even out do all our Ukrainian National Anthem Pep Talks (in which I quoted my botanical art teacher from last weekend, to great, great effect ).
Thanks again, so much, to Amy, Virginia, Sarah etc etc etc for letting the region utilize your facility, horses, and manpower. I'm not sure what we would do without you.
Thanks to Fuller and Co for hosting, and Marlene, always.
