Bonjour! We have bright, sunny conditions for cross country day at the MARS EQUESTRIAN Bromont CCI Three-Day Event. While we’ve avoided any downpours during the competition, the course is still drying out after being pummeled with rain in the lead up to the event. The CCI4*-L is running first starting at 8:30 a.m. EST to give the horses the best of the ground.
Derek di Grazia’s CCI4*-L course has 27 numbered obstacles running over 5,700 meters. The optimum time is 10 minutes. No pairs made the time last year. In the past four runnings of the CCI4*-L at Bromont, just two pairs have managed to finish on their dressage scores. This won’t be a dressage show, y’all. You can watch a drone flyover of the course below.
There is no live stream for cross country today, but I will be running live updates for the CCI4*-L on this page. Keep refreshing for the latest updates. EN wishes safe cross country trips for all. Go Eventing.
