The rain stopped here at Morven sometime early this morning. The officials made the decision to delay the start of the advanced cross-country by one hour until 9:00am to give the course that much more time to dry out drain. There are so many withdraws from the advanced due to the conditions and footing that the intermediate should still be able to start on time. The US team looked at conditions again this morning and the decision was made that the footing looks better than expected so the Pan American squad is set to run this morning. The riders were instructed to ride at a pace they are comfortable with but forward enough to jump the intermediate course. One thing is certain: the footing is going to be on everyone’s mind today. Good luck to all the riders here at Morven and around Eventing Nation today–stay safe and have fun.
Go eventing.
