Naima and Statesman rockin’ it out.
It was a day of firsts for our other two Canadian riders in this competition – but not particularly in the best way. Lindsay Kellock’s mare Floratina took exception during some tempi changes and did the stanky leg, much to Lindsay’s surprise. And the normally stately Statesman decided to go full-on racehorse when Naima Moreira-Laliberte was showing off his massive canter extension. We all thought he was headed for the water jump on the other side of the dressage ring; the fact that Naima was laughing after she got him under control is indicative of the sensible character of this young rider.
