Great rides from many of our riders Saturday. Lindsey Agaliotis rode her best on the fancy buck skin Captain to earn a score of 67.919%. She was beaten by a little more than 0.1% by Emily Henderson from Averett riding Francie. Lindsey rode her best; Emily has the advantage of riding the Averett horses on a regular basis. The upper training riders rode well but were again bested by riders from Averett and NCSU’s team captain Andrea Massa. At lower training Lauren Parker riding as an individual had a beautiful ride on the impressive black horse George scoring 68.74% to win the division and point out of lower training. Good ride for a well-deserved score, which sadly did not help the team points. In the introductory division Hannah Firth rode a well-balanced and accurate test on Boo to place third with a score of 67.5% behind a horse which was considerably stronger in first and second.
Moving forward I have moved some riders around on the two teams and within the individual divisions. Having ridden the horses yesterday, we have some insights into what makes them tick. I’m excited to push the team to do better today and show off their horsemanship skills.
