THE MASTERS 2023-THE CANADA RING --THE NOVO TUBOSCOPE CUP

THIS COMPETITOR GOT A DRY RUN AT THE BEGINNING DUE TO HER HORSE NEVER BEING ON THE COURSE BEFORE.  IT WAS A CLEAR REFUSAL AT THIS JUMP AND SHE LEFT THE COURSE. 

THERE MUST HAVE BEEN HORSEY YOGA IN BETWEEN SHE CAME BACK TO FINISH 7TH WITH HER HORSE!  (KYLIE MARTENS/CANADA ON NICO 1427) 

TODAY'S BLOG THEME IS BEAUTIFUL HORSES JUMPING AND RUNNING!  THIS CAME TO MIND AS I WATCHED THE GRACE OF THE HORSES AND THEIR RIDERS. HOW THEY ARE NOW STAYING LOW COMING OUT OF THEIR JUMPS AND LOOKING MAJESTIC AS THEY RIDE TO THE NEXT JUMP! (OR DID I JUST MISS THIS TECHNIQUE BEFORE?) 

A SIMPLE THEME FOR A SIMPLE DAY IN THE SUN. IT'S SENIOR AND MILITARY DAY TODAY AND A VERY RELAXED CROWD. NO BOOKED SEATS IN THE GENERAL SECTION WITH A CIVILIZED CROWD. THE MOST ENJOYABLE DAY AND VERY SERENE PEOPLE DUE TO COMPLIMENTARY ADMISSION FOR ALOT OF THE ATTENDAES!
