Good morning EN! It’s that time of year again: we can start the final countdown to Bromont today. Riders are already traveling from all corners of the US to get to the competition- including Michael Pollard and Hani. Yesterday Pollard Eventing tweeted the news that Michael, Hani, and Kate are on their way to Canada and “looking forward to getting back into competition.” It will be great to see Michael back in the tack. Two days ago John posted about the entry list and Olympic implications of the weekend- with nearly every top rider in North America en route to Quebec it’s going to be a close competition. Keep checking back for updates! [Bromont Entries] [Website]
Across the pond with two phases complete at Tattersalls, William Fox Pitt and Bay My Hero lead the CCI*** by a solid seven points over Polly Stockton and Westwood Mariner. In the CCI** Australia’s Chris Burton is in the lead with Underdiscussion, followed by Kiwi Tim Price and Wesko. Northern Ireland Equestrian News is also running a live audio stream that will give commentary throughout show jumping. [Results] [Website] [Audio Live Stream]
