Training Dressage is already underway, and the CCI 3* test ride will be at 10:10 this morning, with the competition proper starting at 10:30am. The Olympic Equestrian site here at Bromont is calm, horses are either hand grazing, hacking or limbering up, or getting ready for tests later.
It’s always fascinating to me to watch different people work their horses: how long they walk for first, how long and low they go, if at all, all sorts of types of horses and methods, everyone has their preferred routine.
Kendal Lehari rides Daily Edition in the CCI 3* later (1:51pm)
and Elissa Gibbs rides Medici in the same class at 1:19 this afternoon.
The Canadians were out early this morning walking the cross country with team coach David O’Connor, and I swear I saw Dr Christiana Ober running up and down the mountains, but she was barely more than a pink flash so I may have been mistaken! That’s what makes the Canadians so unbeatable! The skies are blue, the sun is out and it’s a great day to go eventing!
