Plantation Field International CIC & H.T. [Website] [Entry Status] [Times] [Live Scores] [Live Stream] [Course Preview]

12:26 p.m. EST: We’re off! Boyd Martin and Master Frisky are the first out on course in the CIC3*.

12:29 p.m. EST: Phillippa Humphreys and Sir Donovan had a big miss at the big table at fence 5 but recovered nicely. 12:32 p.m. EST: Phillip Dutton and I’m Sew Ready have a runout at the skinny on top of the hill at the ruins at fence 18b.

12:36 p.m. EST: Holly Payne picks up a runout at the angled brushes at fence 14 with Santino. She’ll return later in the afternoon with Never Outfoxed.

12:41 p.m. EST: The final water complex, which caused so much trouble last year and has been totally redone for this year, is riding beautifully. Caroline Martin and Quantum Solace just made quick work of it.

12:43 p.m. EST: John Kyle of FEI TV fame is here commentating with Ed Holloway, and he just said he agrees this really is one of the Best. Event(s). Ever. My work here is done.

12:45 p.m. EST: I’m listening to Spencer Sturmey and Samantha Clark’s excellent commentary on the PRO TV live stream with one ear bud, and Spencer has a bit of a crush on the lovely dun Glendening Avis. You’re in good company, Spencer. We love this mare, too.

12:48 p.m. EST: Whitney Weston and Rock On Rose setting a blistering pace and looking full of running.

12:49 p.m. EST: Big congrats to Allison Springer and Copycat Chloe for a lovely round. They’ve had some ups and downs this year, and Chloe looked locked on the whole way around.

12:52 p.m. EST: Luckaun Quality redeeming himself after a boisterous dressage test earlier in the weekend with a cracking clear round time with Tim Bourke.

12:53 p.m. EST: Whitney Weston takes the long route at the second water complex to tack on a bit of extra time — a very nice round overall.

12:56 p.m. EST: Nilson Moirera da Silva fell from Muggle at the Lilybridge Footbridge at fence 15, which is a new fence this year sponsored by Erin Sylvester’s family. He’s up and OK.

12:57 p.m. EST: We have a hold on course while the grounds crew tends to the footbridge after Nilson’s fall.

1:07 p.m. EST: Just Tim Bourke and Luckaun Quality have made the optimum time of 6:03 so far. They made it home one second under the time.

1:08 p.m. EST: Will Coleman and OBOS O’Reilly also redeeming themselves after the horse melted down in dressage on Friday. A lovely ride on last year’s Bromont CCI3* winner.

12:58 p.m. EST: Remember you can tweet your questions to PRO TV hosts Samantha Clark @samanthalclark and Spencer Sturmey @SpencerSturmey during the live stream.

1:12 p.m. EST: We’re also now hearing that Helen Hayn had a bad fall from Aqua Tom at the Footbridge just after Nilson’s fall at the same fence, which is why the hold is stretching on for so long. It’s being announced that she is awake and talking.

1:15 p.m. EST: We’re back underway with Cody Sturgess and Imperial Melody back on course.

1:20 p.m. EST: I have confirmation that Helen Hayn is OK after falling from Aqua Tom at the footbridge at fence 15.

1:25 p.m. EST: The Apprentice pulled Buck Davidson the whole way around the course for a great clear. He’s prepping to head to France for the Pau CCI4* next month.

1:29 p.m. EST: The coffin at fences 8 and 9 is riding well overall but a bit sticky — requires a confident coffin canter through there.

1:30 p.m. EST: Lisa Marie Fergusson and Honor Me pick up a runout at the brush corners at fence 12. The door is wide open to the right there.

1:34 p.m. EST: Dasha Ivandeava and Autorytet had trouble at the brush corners at fence 12. And she also picked up another runout at fence 14a at the angled brushes, which is sadly elimination for them in their first CIC3*

1:35 p.m. EST: Taryn Nolte and Cleverly had a stop in the final water complex at the end of the course, which is the first bit of trouble we’ve had on that part of the course.

1:37 p.m. EST: Sharon White and Under Suspection also picking up a runout at the brush corners at fence 12. A shame considering their preparing to go to Boekelo CCIO3* next month with their Land Rover Competition Grant.

1:38 p.m.: Jodi Hemry and In Style having a smart trip around this course to come home with a clear round. Well ridden. Hearing loud cheers from the finish as she crosses the flags!

1:40 p.m. EST: John Kyle saying this is some of the best ground you’ll see at this time of year in the States. The grounds crew did a great job of aerating, and the turf here is very old and established. Just another thing that makes Plantation Field the Best. Event. Ever.

1:43 p.m. EST: Nora Battig and Steppin’ Out also have a runout at the brush corners at fence 12. Those were riding really well at the beginning of the course and now are causing a lot of trouble.

1:47 p.m. EST: Allie Knowles and Sound Prospect have picked up two runouts on course, though I don’t have confirmation as to where those happened.

2:01 p.m. EST: Erin Sylvester and No Boundaries are absolutely flying around the course. They might be our second pair to make the time.

2:03 p.m. EST: We’re into the top 20 now, and it’s still anyone’s game!

2:10 p.m. EST: Caitlin Silliman and Catch A Star having an amazing ride and look like they’re another pair with potential to make the time.

2:15 p.m. EST: Jimmie Schramm and Bellamy picked up their first runout at the brush corners at fence 12 and were eliminated on refusals later on course.

2:19 p.m. EST: Colleen Rutledge and Covert Rights had a stop at the angled brushes at fence 14.

2:22 p.m. EST: Kelly Prather and Blackfoot Mystery had a runout at the brush corners at 12a.

2:23 p.m. EST: It looks like Caitlin Silliman and Catch A Star have taken the lead!

2:30 p.m. EST: Trading Aces looks to be setting a very good pace out on course with Boyd Martin.

2:32 p.m. EST: Maya Black and Doesn’t Play Fair look very smart through the final water. It looks like they’ll be close to making time.

2:35 p.m. EST: Buck Davidson and Ballynoe Castle RM set a more conservative pace on course to give Maya the win! Buck second with Copper Beach and third with Ballynoe Castle RM. Stay tuned for the full report.
