Futurity recap from the wife perspectiveโฆ
โAs the wife of a horse trainer, I see it all - the highs, the lows, the early mornings, and the late nights. Francesco was on fire leading up to the futurity, his dedication inspiring. But EHV-1 threw us a curveball, losing our star mare's chance at a finals spot was heartbreaking, but Francesco's resolve only strengthened. Even with a fever, he pushed through on semi-final day. That rollback with Luvin was crushing, and as the wife, I could feel how devastated he was. With bills piling up, the doubts creep in - is it all worth it? But when I saw my husband's unwavering positivity, I knew we'd be okay. He's the rock I lean on, and together, we'll face whatever comes next. As we sit to watch the 2025 Futurity finals from the comfort of our tiny house we realize that this year may not have been our year but what truly matters is that we are home with 3 healthy horses, we have 3 beautiful children we get to spend Christmas with and amazing clients who keep believing in the same dream we have. Itโs a rare thing to be as blessed as we are and have the perspective to understand it. As the saying goes, if you want to hear God laugh, just tell him your plans. God truly has a plan and we know he will provide. So we keep taking it day by day and we keep working and be thankful that we have the ability to continue to work.โ
Good luck to all those hardworking trainers and horses who are competing today in the open finals!
