G1 Magic in the Air at TSHA Nationals

Tara Madgwick - Thursday May 23

Within a 15 minute period on Thursday morning at the TSHA National Titles at Stonewall Equestrian  we saw three elite sprinters that accumulated over $13million in prizemoney take their first baby steps in the showjumping world and it was enough to bring a tear to the eye.

Lost and Running made a smooth transition to the jump ring.

Entered in the 75cm class were $6.6million earner Eduardo, $2.8 million earner Lost and Running and $1.8million earner Vega One.

While they did not figure in the placings , they all had a good experience and are enjoying learning new skills to take them into a new phase in life.
