The Calculation
Another adult rider and I swapped reserve and champion in the two riding divisions. Which means our scores must have been close. Which means winning the Eq Championship may have come down to winning the second class on the second day at Chattanooga. Which means I owe huge hat tip to Coach James for giving me just the right speech to send me back into the ring ready to rock. [Trip to Tennessee, Riding Day Two]
As for the High Point, I imagine that was due to the four driving classes at Chattanooga. Which hereby makes Chatt my favorite horse show.

[Notes from a Semi-Successful Saddle Seat Show, August 2025] Optimus
Skipped the last fun show. Ran out of enthusiasm. Then Chatt, “This one is new. Eight classes: four drive, four ride. Two of the driving are pattern classes. I couldn’t resist, especially when new faces showed up, all of whom can ride & drive.” [Watch This Space]
