In the Thursday night Grand Prix class, Jane and Mak received a 68.333% and finished 2nd place behind Courtney King and Idocus. Mak was on his game and behaved like a grown up while he was in the ring, despite the boistrous cheering fans during WIHS "Barn Night" where prizes are awarded to groups based on best enthusiasm and spirit. Mak seemed to enjoy the attention. For the Friday night Grand Prix Freestyle, the pair made a slight mistake in their first set of one tempis but pulled out a great second set of flawless one tempis and bold extensions. They scored a 68.875% finishing again in 2nd place behind Courtney and Idocus...
Jane said she really enjoyed the whole event and Mak even enjoyed his little stroll on the streets of Washington, DC. The show was held at the Verizon Center which is in downtown Washington, and the horses were stabled in the parking garage. Warming up in the parking garage, riding in a basketball stadium, and cooling down on the streets of a city all lend to the truly wild experience of the show. But Jane said it was great fun and "dancing with Mak" in front of such an excited crowd made the show very special. |
