Devon: The pregame analysis

Posted: 26 Sep 2010 05:18 PM PDT

What will Hilda Gurney think of Ri-Ri?
It's time to ramp up for Devon and to prep for Riley's under saddle debut. The day sheets were posted about ten days ago -- they list the competitors in each class. 

You be the judge!
I wondered how Riley will compare with the other horses in the class, and couldn't resist a little sleuthing. I came up with some videos/pix of the other horses who will be there. IMHO the most impressive ones are Borencio, Beaumont, and Rauber in that order. But in this cast of characters Riley should "fit in" pretty well.
Last time Riley was at Devon (2007) he was a yearling in the Championship class. He scored 10th place out of 11 horses. Of course I think he was robbed ;-) but he was a pretty geeky yearling. No matter -- it was the most fun I've had at a horse show. I really want to repeat that experience -- a great time, a beautiful horse to show off, and lots of good shopping. OH, BTW -- Hilda Gurney is the  judge this year, and back in 2007 she gave Riley as 76%.
