…And we’ve arrived at the final week in the desert! Along with the esteemed $1,000,000 AIG Grand Prix, week 8 featured the R.W. Mutch Equitation Championship. To qualify for this class, riders had to place in the top three in a major equitation medal, i.e. USEF Hunt Seat Medal, ASPCA Maclay, WIHS Medal, or USET Talent Search. We’re so proud of both KERA MCCANDLESS and KATELIN MACK for earning their places in the Championship this week! Congratulations, girls
