Andromaque waiting for cross-country to start, from the USEF Eventing High Performance facebook page.
The US hopes lie with Will Faudree and Andromaque, 4th after a brilliant cross-country round at Saumur. As mentioned earlier, Will and Missy had a foot-perfect ride easily inside the time. Marilyn Little and RF Smoke on the Water also finished double-clear to move into the top 10. Sadly, Hannah Sue Burnett and Harbour Pilot had a runout at the corner at 8B, and Buck Davidson was eliminated on The Apprentice for running by the corner at 18B and continuing without jumping it.
- 18 riders finished double clear
- 26 riders total finished with no jumping penalties
- 1 rider retired
- 4 riders were eliminated (including Buck, and a fall for overnight leader Kitty King and Zidante)
