What a week ! āØ I would like to say thank you to Balou for being the superstar he is, he jumped his heart out. I would also like to thank St. Brides Farm, Barb and Dave for your unwavering support (as well as all of the Balou fan club who were here cheering) !
Margo Thomas, who took the best care of him this week, and the rest of the team at home who look after all of the horses as if they are Olympic champions!
Nick, I know you wanted an individual medal for me, and it wasnāt for your lack of support and advice, youāre the best!
My family, who go above and beyond to make sure these dreams come true, especially Mary Elizabeth, you are irreplaceable.
Christiana Ober, Paul Boken, Arnie Gervais, Steve Engle, Wolfie and the countless others who give Balou the outstanding veterinary, shoeing and physio care he deserves.
Team USA, you give us the best support imaginable, and help make weeks like this happen š„
To you, my fans, I dedicate this 8th place to all of you who have been behind me for so many years. I would have liked to have offered you something better, but itās only a postponement!
Thank you again, thank you Paris ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøšŗšøšŗšøšŗšø
