Will and Pawlow
After a relatively uneventful morning in the CCI divisions, the standings got a shake-up in the CIC***: Several pairs had trouble at 7ABC, a downhill combination with a skinny wedge at the base. Overnight leaders Clark Montgomery and Universe picked up a stop there; Will Coleman fell off Cool Connection; Hannah Burnett and Tessa Beckett retired after run-outs, and Leslie Chelsrom and Whitney Weston picked up run-outs, too.
Team Canada, pleased with Rebecca and Riddle Master’s performance
But Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master made the bank combo look easy, picking up just .04 time penalties to move up from fourth to first. Will Faudree had an unfortunate fall with DHI Color Candy after they got a little close to the last fence, but Pawlow pulled off one of three clear rounds to move from fifth to second.
The other double clears belonged to Hawley and Ginny and Sinead and Tate, sitting third and fourth respectively.
Meghan O’Donohuge and Pirate moved up from 16th to seventh
Buck and The Apprentice jumped clear but slow, dropping from third to 11th
Michelene Jordan also had a fall off Irish Diamonds when he hung a leg into the second water, but both were quickly up and OK.
