It’s time to turn the page to the final chapter and conclusion of what has been a very successful competition at Rebecca Farm. Phillip Dutton has already picked up the advanced win this morning and Allison and Arthur will take a 10 point lead into the CIC3* show jumping this afternoon.
In the CIC3* jog, Martha McDowell’s Gaelic Marriage and Sharon White’s Rafferty’s Rules were held. Gaelic Marriage passed on reinspection. Sadly, Sharon did not represent Rafferty’s Rules. Jordan Linstedt withdrew Tullibards Hawkwind this morning before the jog.
Joe and Snip
Samantha noted that Joe Meyer’s 19 year old Snip looked as “fresh as a daisy”. Kyle jogged Madison Park from the right side and passed. Knowing Kyle, it’s hard to tell if that was a savvy veteran move or if Kyle simply mixed up right and left.
The Ground Jury showed kindness by letting one of the CCI* riders jog after the conclusion of the jog because the rider missed her jog time, saying she didn’t know when it was. It’s a CCI* and I think if any of us were that rider or indeed another competitor in that division we would want to see them have a chance to finish their weekend.
Phillip and Ben
The advanced division finished up their show jumping before the three-day jogs this morning. Phillip Dutton and Ben moved up from third to win with a double-clear round. Ben is owned by Team Rebecca, making the win an emotional home field victory on a weekend that has been about remembering Rebecca Broussard’s contributions to our sport and community. Pam Fisher and Simply Priceless finished in second, and Kristi Walker finished third with Myelusivedream.
There are no less than three show jumping arenas in action today at Rebecca Farm. Check out the live scores and keep it locked to Eventing Nation for much more from Rebecca Farm. It’s too hot to go outside anyhow. The CIC3* show jumping is scheduled to start at 2:50pm local, 4:50 ET.
Go eventing.
