All 20 horses in the CCI3* were accepted this morning in the final horse inspection at the Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event, and 34 horses were accepted in the CCI2*. One horse was spun from the CCI2* when the ground jury did not accept Madeline Backus’ mount P.S. Arianna. Just one other horse, Ovation W, was sent to the holding box in the CCI2* and was accepted upon re-presentation.

Mackenna Shea wins EN’s Unofficial Groom Award for her excellent care and turnout of Tamie Smith’s mounts Mai Baum and Fleur de Lis and Kevin Baumgardner’s Wembley this weekend. I photograph a lot of grey horses on the jog strip and am a stickler for clean tails, and Wembley’s looked immaculate today. Three cheers for the grooms and all their hard work to get these horses sparkling at Jersey Fresh.
