    Okay, so tell me about your test today with Starr Witness.

    I think she was she was very, very good. It was freezing this morning, so I think she still was a fraction on edge, but I couldn't be happier with her overall progress and the trend she's setting this year. That's really exciting.

    Any highlights for you in that test, anything that stood out?

    I tell you what, in the canter medium, she went to start in the corner and she almost went to do a little spook sort of thing, and historically, that would have been a much bigger deal. So I think, although it's probably the worst score in the test, I was actually most proud of her there because she put it right back together unbelievably quick, and then we were able to ride the rest of the movement. I think it's a sort of indication of where she's at in her progression, and she's just trending better and better.

    Awesome. All right, well thank you so much. Good luck this weekend.
