Well it's almost time for the last leg of the competition. On Wednesday morning, Team USA will strut their stuff in the I-1 Freestyle. Chris won the freestyle at Gladstone with Lauren right behind him. Lauren has made some changes to her freestyle to increase the difficulty, so we should see a very close finish. Lauren rides at 11:15 and Chris at 12:00 noon. I didn't get Kate's time but it should be near 10:30.

As soon as I get the results, I'll let you all know.

I have added a few new links to our Pan Am Links page:

Here are some emails I received from the Team during the last day:

Just wanted to make sure you all SHARE in the success!! WE won the Inter 1 today w/ a 69%!!!
Check out the results on Dressagedaily.com.

Regent felt great just starting out in the warm-up- really picked himself up and moved real big right off the bat. He just gets better and better each day of the show's- this seems to be the pattern- got to love that!!

Tomorrow we will get to just school, then show the Freestyle on Wednesday late am- I get to go last!! It is going to be a close one I think, 2nd place was very close to me, Yvonne from the Dom. Republic, also w/ a 69. Then Lauren w/ a 68. Being 1/2 way through the Individual's now and being so close together- it hard to wait until Wednesday to finish this!!! I think it all will be said and done by noon eastern time.

Will keep you posted.

Finally I have your email. Last week Susie gave it to me and I lost it. We have been so busy that I hadn't gotten around to getting it. I am sure you have heard the results today. I am very happy with my results. As soon has we tried to enter the arena Zuel was spooked. He continued to be tense and spook through the test. We had no major mistakes so I was happy we placed 6th and had the time to ride in the arena one last time.

Congrats on your horse - he looks great!

Thanks, and yes, Lauren also will fight for a medal-- that's ok, we both came here for that reason. We are having a good time teasing each other so all is good. So far neither of us have any bruises!

Congratulations to you too!
