It’s a beautifully crisp fall morning here at Morven Park, where bright and early this morning we saw the FEI divisions trot up for their respective Ground Jury members to ensure the horses were fit and sound to continue on to the final show jumping phase later today.
We enjoyed a relatively drama-free trot-up (save, of course, a few spooks thrown in at the cutout of the mansion that sat at the end of the jog strip), though three horses were sent to the hold between the 4*-L and 4*-S divisions.

Jules Ennis Batters and Cooley O and Braden Speck and BSF Liam were sent to the holding box for the 4*-S, while Dani Sussman and Jos Bravio were held in the 4*-L. All three horses were accepted when they were brought back to present for a second time.

We also had one overnight leader withdrawn ahead of the jog in 4*-S in Hannah Sue Hollberg and Business Ben. This leaves Ema Klugman and RF Redfern in the lead of this division.

We now move ahead to the commencement of show jumping at 11 a.m. EST with the CCI2*-S Developing Horse Championship first to see. We’ll conclude with the CCI4*-L beginning at 2:25 p.m. EST. Meanwhile, the National divisions will tackle cross country throughout the day.
