The difference between 1.40M and 1.45M may only be a couple of inches (1.97 inches, to be exact), but that separation is huge as riders progress towards the 1.50M level! 🐎💙 As new competitors at the 1.40M level (at least for Athena, Valdes is very experienced!), each horse and rider pair must learn each other’s rhythms and way of jumping, riding style and pace to ensure that they are successful as a the poles creep upwards towards the International heights. Just a few rider error rails in both of these classes kept them out of the ribbons/jump-off, but what a great learning experience especially at the amazing WEC International Arena! 👀🐎🤩 🥰🎥 @elpida_equestrian #elpidaequestrian #showjumping #wecocala #grandprix #fyp
