Phillip’s CCI*** Dressage Domination

Phillip and Mystery Whisper scored a 32.6 to lead the CCI*** by seven points this afternoon–the third time they’ve led a three-day after the dressage this year.  Phillip mentioned in the press conference that he’s been working with Linda Zang, and that the experience of riding Mystery Whisper has been beneficial for his other horses. Looking toward cross-country, he’s planning to keep the pace “comfortable” for Whisper.

 

 

Karen and Veronica look ready for Rolex redemption after their flashy test left them in second (39.6) heading into tomorrow. Karen’s no worse than third on any of her horses this weekend. Go  Karen.

Michael and Jude’s Law showed some killer mediums, but a bit of tension in the canter work to score a 43.6 for third, and Buck and Reggie looked like the old friends they are, performing a consistent test to score 46.4 for fifth.

Though there’s an over 10-point gap between the top five, consistent tests from Laine, Kadi, Lynn and Hawley put them all within two points of each other in the bottom half of the top ten–which’ll make for an exciting shake-up in the standings at the end of the day tomorrow.
