A Hot Day in Germany: Wrapping Up Social Media from Cross Country at Luhmühlen

An action-packed day of cross country riding is in the books in the Longines Luhmühlen CCI5* and CCI4*-S, and now it’s time to ice, ice, baby and look ahead to tomorrow’s show jumping finale.

It was a mixed-bag day for our American pair of riders, and while Ariel Grald is celebrating a banner day that moves her from outside the top 10 into fourth place overnight with Leamore Master Plan, Jennie Brannigan is nursing the pain of bruised goals after parting ways with Stella Artois early on in the course and bringing an unanticipated end to her weekend. Importantly, though, we’ve had no reports of injuries to horses or riders and despite some hairy moments and a couple of downright spectacular (and not in a good way) falls, it’s a collective sigh of gratitude we all exhale tonight knowing we’ve got all pairs back to the barns in one piece today.

You can catch up on the action in our CCI5* live updates here and in Tilly’s end-of-day report here. The final horse inspection for both divisions will commence at 2:45 a.m. EST / 8:45 a.m. CEST, followed by the CCI5* show jumping at 5:10 a.m. EST / 11:10 a.m. CEST and the CCI4* at 7:40 a.m. EST / 1:40 p.m. CEST. Each phase will once again be live streamed on H&C for H&C+ subscribers – you can view more and subscribe here.
