My favorite moment during Thursday morning’s dressage was watching Mark Todd ride, but the Germans stole the show by placing first and second. Simone Deiterman had a lovely test with superb trot work and even better canter work and she leads her fellow German Dirk Schrade by 6.5 points. Unfortunately for the Germans thus far, Simone is riding as an individual and her score does not count for the German team. Boyd Martin got big cheers from the hometown crowd and put together a solid test to sit in 7th.
