Pacific Saddlery is heading to Temecula Valley National Fall I (NATIONAL J4) this week, and we’d love for you to stop by. It is always special to connect in person, and Temecula has such a welcoming atmosphere that makes it one of our favorite stops. If you are showing or spectating, come say hello. We’ll be there for all three weeks.
Some weeks the sport just glows brighter, and this was one of them. From historic trophies in the U.S. to electric atmospheres in Morocco and France, I found myself swept along by grit, disbelief, and moments of pure joy. These are the five rounds that stayed with me most.
Pacific Saddlery was out at the Oaks Finale 1, PREMIER 4 in San Juan Capistrano last week, and we’ll be back again for the Oaks Finale 2, NATIONAL J5 this week. If you’re around, come by to say hello and pick up a free Allon scrunchie. I always enjoy meeting fellow horse lovers in person. Being at the showgrounds here at home had me thinking about how much energy and emotion are carried across arenas around the world, which made this week’s international highlights feel even more special.
Every week in showjumping writes its own theater, and this one was brimming with emotion from a three-decade drought broken in Calgary to a 20-year-old sealing national glory at home. These are the moments that made me lean forward, cheer out loud, and remember why I love this sport.
A week of drama and delight unfolded across two continents, with career-first 5* victories, national pride in the Nations Cup, and a rising American teenager making her mark. From the grandeur of Brussels to the prestige of the Hampton Classic and the spirited crowds in Gijón, showjumping fans were treated to a series of unforgettable performances.
From Europe to the Americas, this week delivered storylines rich with national pride, career-defining victories, and world-class rivalries across the sport’s biggest stages.
