Senior Claire Pound, mounted on Paddy, demonstrates the pattern for the reigning category during the meet against Texas A&M at One Wood Farm on Feb. 11, 2023. Pound is superstitious about what she wears when gearing up to compete. “I always wear the same jewelry. I have a ring that I always have to wear in the same spot. I wear it on my right thumb every single time I show,” Pound said.
