Life After the Olympics: Pablo Barrios

How were the Rio Olympic Games different than other Olympic Games you’ve attended? Barrios: The Rio Games felt very different because the courses were more technical, the horses were better, and the riders were better. Every time you show in a cham- pionship, the level of the horses and riders is incredible. I think that was the biggest difference. For me, it felt like the two Olympic Games were in two different eras. That is what shocked me the most. It was incredible that three horses finished without having rails. The first day alone was similar to the $500,000 Rolex 5* Grand Prix here and there was some thirty clears. It was also incredible how well-prepared the horses were at Rio. Riders really have finessed getting the horses to peak condition at the championships. It was all incredibly impressive.

What was the atmosphere like in Rio? Barrios: The atmosphere was great. Everybody was talking about the security at the Games, how it was not safe, and this, and that. I think they did a great job! For the equestrians, it was a much better situation than the 2008 Beijing Games, where the equestrian sports took place in Hong Kong. It was so nice. I went to the Olympic SPRING 2017 Village, and people were friendly and happy.

On Friday evening of Week 11, Ava Stearns participated in her second George Morris Excellence in Equitation class. In 2016, the Massachusetts native finished in fourth place. In 2017, Stearns entered the test of the top riders sitting in fourth place again; however, after a spotless round on Eclipse, owned by Missy Clark & North Run, Stearns moved up to earn the second place ribbon, just behind fellow North Run student Mckayla Langmeier. After the class, Stearns was beaming from ear to ear and generously praising her mount. “It was a lot of fun!” Stearns said. “Eclipse was incredible. He is so special and handles everything so well. He is so handy, and everything you ask of him he does perfectly, so that made it really fun.” Paige Matthies topped the Alessandro Hillcrest Leading Lady, ridden by Helen Logan Orlando earned champion honors Albanese 15-17 Equitation division riding Ryan and owned by First Blue, LLC, was in the Carolex Stables Walk Trot division The up-and-coming 16-year-old junior rider got her start with horses at a young age, thanks to Conto Blue for Wolfstone Stables & Sales, Inc. champion in the Autism Speaks aboard Berry Berry Extraordinary, owned by her mother and trainer, Sarah Doyle.

While her mother helps her at home, division. Stearns has also been working with Missy Clark and John Brennan of North Run for the past three years. Stearns has a growing reputation for being a versatile and successful catch rider, showing horses in the hunter, jumper, and equitation classes. While she does not have a big equitation final win to her name (yet), she is consistently in the ribbons of all three divisions at top shows like WEF. Stearns and her mother have traveled to Wellington to compete for many years. What does Stearns enjoy the most about showing at WEF? “I love the atmosphere,” she says. “It is very busy and active. I have a lot of opportunities to ride here at WEF, and I get to hang out with a lot of my friends. It is really nice to have everyone at the same show for such an extended period of time. Plus, it is so challenging and fun to show at WEF, and I can watch a lot of top riders compete. My ultimate goal is to continue to improve as a rider.” Here are five facts about the 2017 George Morris Excellence in Equitation reserve champion, Anna Richardson was champion in the Uppercut, ridden by Jennifer Hannan and Alexa Stiegler claimed a championship in Ava Stearns: Equo Low Children’s Jumper division riding owned by Patricia Fulchino, was champion the Equis Boutique Children’s Jumper With Love, owned by Pumpkin’s Patch in the Shapley’s High Performance 15-17 division riding her own Renoir.
