Endurance day is in the books for the Novice Three-Day and Training Three-Day divisions at the GMHA Festival in South Woodstock, Vt., and the leaderboard saw some shakeups after riders completed all four phases.
In the Senior Training Three-Day, Laurie Shiffer and Deuces Wild had the fastest endurance phase of the division, picking up just .8 total time penalties to take the lead on a score of 39.0, moving up from third place after dressage. Robert Piro and Waterview also had a great day, accumulating 1.6 time to move from fourth to second place. Nicole Carroll and Carolina PCH, who were tied for the lead after dressage, picked up 5.6 time to drop to third place on 42.2. The top three are separated by less than a rail, so it’s going to be an exciting finale today in the T3D.
