From the Mixed Zone:

Walk us through your test today.

Allison Berger: Today was an absolute dream. Delacure tried so hard despite the heat. He did everything for me. He worked super hard for me. My favorite part was the extensions. The extended canter was so fun, and overall, it was a really fun day.

Talk about your partnership with Delacure.

AB: We got him from Hoff Kesselman about six months ago and we’ve been riding in Florida with the Ebelings and we’ve been really growing as a pair. He’s teaching me a lot and I’m so grateful for every ride I have on him.

Is there anything you’re going to focus on in your next test?

AB: We’re just gonna have the best tests we can have. We’re going to have a clean test and just try to show off where we can in the extensions and just try to have a fun time as well.
