Good morning from Pine Top! The Intermediate divisions are all running today in a one-day format, with a strong field set to tackle Derek de Grazia’s new cross country course here in Thomson, Georgia.

Taking a look around the track this morning, the Advanced course is already mostly numbered in anticipation of its debut later in the month. There are plenty of new jumps, including a new trakehner complex where the old Preliminary ditch and wall used to be.

Otherwise it’s the same Pine Top we know and love — big, galloping and wide. Everything looks like it belongs in a log cabin, and we’re excited to see how the course runs when the riders get out there later this afternoon.

In the meantime, Intermediate dressage kicks off at 9 a.m. EST, with show jumping starting at noon EST and cross country starting at 2 p.m. EST. Check out the Intermediate course walk below, be sure to follow along with live scores here and check back later in the day for much more from Pine Top.
