Rain at the AEC's. Photo from Liz Hall
The American Eventing Championships got hit with a bit of rain yesterday before Preliminary. It cleared up for a while, but returned with a vengeance before the 5:15 start for the Advanced division’s Stadium, causing AEC organizers to push Stadium to a 7:45am start today. Lainey Ashker currently leads the division. In addition to Stadium for the Advanced division, the AEC’s wrap up today with the Novice and Beginner Novice divisions also tackling Stadium. Expect these divisions to be particularly competitive with many riders heading in to Stadium with scores in the 20’s. Speaking as someone who regularly comes away with 40’s in Dressage, color me impressed! Best wishes for great rides to all of the remaining competitors, I look forward to seeing how it all turns out. For now though, I’m going to get off the internet so that I can avoid any Breaking Bad series-finale spoilers!
