It’s lovely to see a huge division of Advanced horses slugging it out at Millbrook. The dressage has completed for the division, and scores are quite tight for the majority of the division. Jan Byyny and Syd Kent sit in the lead going into cross-country with a score of 27.5, with yesterday’s leader Boyd Martin and Trading Aces in second on 29.10. Laine Ashker and Anthony Patch are third (30.9), with Sarah Cousins and Ideal Contini tied for fourth with Diana Burnett and Shigatzi (31.3). Phillip Dutton and his new ride Mr. Medicott sit just behind in sixth (31.9). EN’s own Kate Samuels and Nyls earned a 34.1 and are in eleventh.
We need more competitive upper level divisions like this in the US. The top 18 horses are all within ten points. Go Millbrook!
