Individual test

Cookie put in another solid test today. I preferred today's test to yesterday's test although I could feel Cookie was more tired today. He was given IV fluids last night just as precaution and I gave him a shorter warmup with frequent ice breaks today but this heat and humidity had been extremely taxing on all of the horses. All that taken into consideration, I was very pleased with our ride and we turned out a 62.9%. It was lower than what I wanted and wasn't enough to out us in the top 15 again but I was happy with Cookie's performance. He was a saint (98% of the time) and worked so hard for me despite of the heat and that's all I could have asked of him.

The rest of the team did great as well! Talia paced 11th with a 64.5%, Brooke placed 9th with a 65.3% and Devon placed 4th with a 66.0%!! All of the horses will be enjoying a well deserved day off tomorrow! Thanks for everyone's support. This experience has been incredible to say the least... Goodnight!
