Will Faudree and Andromaque lead the CIC3* dressage at Jersey Fresh.
Will Faudree and Andromaque lead the CIC3* on a 47.1 after the conclusion of dressage at Jersey Fresh. This is Will and Missie’s final preparation before heading to the Saumur CCI3* in France, and they looked very good here today. Aside from a break to the canter during the extended trot, this was a very nice performance from this pair. You might hear me laughing during the video of their test, as Zach Brandt was sitting near me doing some of his famous impersonations. He’s hilarious, and Samantha told me Zach has promised us a special performance for EN before the end of the weekend. Jessica Phoenix wrapped a great day of rides by finishing in second on Pavarotti on a 49.4. We saw just how dangerous this horse can be at The Fork, when he laid down a 31.6 dressage test in the Advanced. Look for him to be in the thick of things all weekend.
Jessie Phoenix and Pavarotti are in second place on a 49.4.
Hannah Sue Burnett had some bad luck in her test with Harbour Pilot, who had some naughty moments. He tried to canter out of the first halt, and Hannah held him together well until the end of the test when William came undone during the first flying change. She had to halt him and calm him before continuing on. But even with those bobbles, Hannah and William had some super moments, scoring a 51.2 to tie for fourth place with Lauren Kieffer and R.F. Cosima. Marilyn Little also had some bad luck with RF Demeter when she picked up an error early in the test after turning the wrong way. Marilyn had an unfortunate fall from Demi at Rolex, and has re-routed here as a result. Marilyn and RF Demeter scored 54 to sit in ninth place.
Hannah Sue Burnett and Harbour Pilot are tied for fourth on 51.2.
I know Pancho Villa’s fans have been excited to see him go since Boyd Martin purchased the horse, who is now owned by the Pancho Villa Syndicate, this spring. While Boyd isn’t in the irons today due to recovering from his recent surgery on his ankle, Phillip Dutton rode the horse beautifully, and I’m sure Boyd is very happy with that test. Phillip and Pancho Villa are sitting in seventh place on a 52.9. Samantha is off to the press conference to talk with the top three in the CCI3* and CIC3*. Your top three in the CCI3* are Mackenna Shea and Landioso, Michael Pollard and Mensa, and Buck Davidson and D.A. Adirmo. Your top three in the CIC3* are Will Faudree and Andromaque, Jessica Phoenix and Pavarotti, and Jennie Brannigan and Cambalda. Stay tuned for much more from Jersey Fresh.
