[RC] 4-beat Galloping In! No Hands on Reins - Barb PeckI'm watching on a computer at work (my home computer's a dog). For those of you that couldn't watch- The riding abilities of the first 3 across the finish line was amazing, They were perfectly centered and in balance and in sync with the cadence of their horses (ground covering) lope - was beautiful to watch. They are all superb riders- 1st place Spanish rider dropped his reins - held both arms straight out from his body (sort of like a kid playing airplane), and bowed (slightly to the right and then to the left) in sync with every stride the horse took - Then 2 wonem on greys (I think they were the 2 french 2nd & 3rd) also dropped their reins at ground covering lope and held their arm up in a victory salute... No tired riders hampering their horses for these 3- they were SO in sync with their horses. We are looking at world class riders for sure.
