My Kentucky 4* Experience with Let It Be Lee

[@breezy7402]

The way you dealt with his refusal and immediately acknowledged your mistakes was really nice! I love the way you ride.

[@gabriellemiller5615]

I always love how she recognized her mistakes and makes sure to fix them the next time its so uncommon in the horse world

Lee went nicely. His refusal was understandable and with cause. He is brave, honest, and willing. A good ride on a game horse.

Lee's reaction at the corner was incredible...I had to rewatch multiple times to figure out how he managed to still jump... such a smart and confident horse, other horses would have stopped. He is a champ.

Hello how are you

[@Bookworm-rw9gx]

As much as I live for your headcams, it's great to see 'spectator view' as well. As I'm in England and was unable to livestream the event, it's great catching up with it and I always enjoy your 'behind the scenes' bits too. An awesome experience for all of you - as we say here (with our dogs), "every day is a learning day"!

[@gillmason9616]

How Lee got his back legs over the corner at 13.18 is amazing. Horses aren't supposed to go straight up like a jump jet! The boy did well, didn't he?

He was amazing.

Three things I'm hoping for next year: 1. Lee and Riot in the 5* with Sharpie and Munson in the 4*, 2. At least one top 10 finish, and 3. Better weather.

Hi Karen

[@kbrandequestrian]

Fantastic job Elisa! Thanks for taking us along on your first 4* with him - he REALLY stepped it up in the cross country. A shame that your dressage score was a bit lower than it should have been, but it just means more practice! Overall, a really challenging Kentucky and Lee took it head on and did a fantastic job. You should both be incredibly proud. I cannot wait to see you two continue to grow as a pair!

Hi 🙋‍♂️

[@ft.janice]

he is stunning

[@littledog012]

Lee and Munson and Sharpie (as well as all your OTTBs and Mustangs) are all amazing each in their own way, but my prediction (only slightly educated) gut feeling, is that Riot Gear will be your next 5* winning star.

[@rdd8048]

I’m glad that he stopped at the coffin. I was afraid that he would maybe fall or you would fall if he had jumped, because of the slippery grass. I am proud of him for stopping; it was the right decision.

[@WallaceEventing]

My issue is sometimes I ride him like he is Johnny(my retired 5star) so sometimes I can come like I would on Johnny and we would’ve been fine(ridden at many a wet Kentucky to tougher coffin scenarios). But Lee is Lee and I needed to account for that. He is a special horse for sure.

Are there any concerns about Riot and Lee’s mental health in cross country after Kentucky? I believe Jimmy Wofford mentioned something in the live stream about how they were handling the jumps (sticky, sliding, stopping, etc). No judgment I’m just curious about your take on it!

[@WallaceEventing]

Nah. Lee felt very confident the day after and we will get a cross country school to make sure all are feeling good. But sometimes that’s how it goes.

@@WallaceEventing Off topic: Would you be able to film a long distance traveling 101 video? (12 plus hours/multi day hauls). It would be awesome to know if there’s anything you do in advanced (hydration, etc) and then what you pack/do for the trailering. Also, a video on show setup would be cool too!
