Commenting on her ride, Perry-Glass said, “The trot work was good, and that has been a little tricky for us the last couple of weeks. I feel like we lost a little steam in the canter, which then led to mistakes in the ones and the two-tempis. Overall though, I felt like he was very honest. There is so much room for improvement, and I just need to ride a clean test. That’s going to be my goal for this year.”
“I’m really excited,” she said. “I think that the freestyle is something that Dublet and I are really good at, and he feels more comfortable with it. That’s kind of the last ‘hurrah’ before the FEI World Cup Finals, to see if I get to go or not. So I am anxious, but I’ll be happy either way. I would love to go, and I think Dublet would love it too.”

“I was really happy with my ride today,” said LaGoy-Weltz. “It’s the most solid he has felt in there, and he felt more confident.”
