The Grantham Cup CIC3* at Belton International Horse Trials is underway across the pond in Lincolnshire, England. Britain’s Laura Collett and Grand Manoeuvre lead the way on a 39.8 after the first of two dressage days, with a stacked field of 112 horses contesting the class.
Grand Manoeuvre, a 13-year-old Hannoverian gelding owned by Diana and David Chappell, is one of three horses Laura is competing in the CIC3*. They garnered the only sub-40 score of the day, with Piggy French (GBR) and Jesse Campbell (NZL) rounding out the top three.
Grand Manoeuvre leading over night on 39.8 and Cooley Again sitting on 53.2 😊 Let’s hope Mr Bass has a chat with Grand Manoeuvre tonight!
