Sternlicht drew an early time spot for the USDF First Level Championships, but the brisk weather didn’t change his focus or fluidity. Together with Michael Bragdell, the pair put in an outstanding test that earned an overall 74.363% and all scores of 8’s for gaits and impulsion. Winning the USDF National Finals at First Level was a perfect end to the show season. Congratulations Michael!

But either way, the expression fits her, because Nunnink may very well be the happiest rider at Rolex Kentucky. At 48, she's heading to her first CCI**** with her horse of a lifetime.
