Reports are in that Pine Top is experiencing severe weather and the event is on hold right now. Rain is pouring, severe storms and lightning are in the area, and there is a tornado warning.
Hope everyone stays safe.
Update: Cross-country has been cancelled for today and moved to tomorrow. Dressage resumes at 1:30pm. Hopefully the weather improves!
The Advanced dressage has finished so far, with some exceptional scores. Michael Pollard swept both A-1 and A-2, with Hanni and Icarus, and Jude’s Law and DV8. Four horses, first and tied for second-placed in both divisions, and each under 30 points except Icarus (30.3). Michael’s “worst” placing is 5th with Jos Calfun on 31.6. Very impressive. Both A-1 and A-2 are filled with competitive scores– either the judges were in a very good mood or there was some really fantastic riding today. I’m guessing the latter!
