2012 Olympic champion Michael Jung and Sam lead at Fontainebleau
Dressage has wrapped up at the first FEI Nations Cup Event at Fontainebleau CIC3*. Michael Jung and La Biosthetique Sam lead the field on 35.6. (In other news, the sky is blue and the earth is round.) The Germans occupy 6 of the top 10 placings…though the top two horses seem to be competing as individuals, not on the Team. Still, rest of the world, I’m rooting for you, just like I’m cheering on Western Kentucky vs Kansas in the NCAA Tournament.
Speaking of “rest of the world,” how about Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master? Now based in England, Rebecca is making her mark, standing proudly in 6th place with a 41.0. Fellow Canadian Lindsay (Pearce) Traisnel is in 57th with Saniki (58.2) and 59th with Candar Van Het Neervel (59.8). Go Canada!
