Bromont Jog Report: 90 Horses Move to Dressage

Kyle Carter and Madison Park continue their comeback at the Bromont CCI3* this weekend.

It was a beautiful afternoon at Bromont for the first horse inspection, with 95 total horses presenting before the ground jury in the CCI1*, CCI2* and CCI3* divisions. The 48 horses in the CCI1* division presented first, and Kate Chadderton and Checkout the Charmer and Genevieve Boutin and Curioso were both held. Genevieve and Curioso passed upon representation. Kate received special permission from the ground jury to bring Charmer forward for representation after all other divisions had jogged; he unfortunately did not pass upon reinspection. Asa Cooper and Revelry II withdrew before the jog. William Ward and Watermill Time were asked to jog a second time and passed, with the horse looking very keen. Forty-six total horses move on to the dressage in the CCI1*.

Will Coleman sported a smashing coral tie in the trop up with Obos O'Reilly.

The 24 CCI2* horses jogged next, and Robin Walker and Freedoms Light and Erin Renfroe and DeCordova were both held. Robin and Freedoms Light passed upon reinspection, but Erin and DeCordova were unfortunately spun. While Abigail Wilson’s horse Fernhill Flag looked perfectly sound, she on the other hand looked very lame and jogged up and down the jog lane with an obvious grimace on her face. Hopefully her injury isn’t too serious and she’s able to ride without too much pain this weekend. Twenty-three horses in total will move on to the dressage in the CCI2*. The 23 CCI3* horses were the last to present, and Liz Riley and It’s The Truth were held and ultimately spun upon reinspection. The ground jury paused for what felt like a very long time before announcing that Kyle Carter and Madison Park had passed, during which I almost passed out from holding my breath. It’s no secret I’m rooting for Kyle and Parker in their comeback! The other 22 CCI3* horses passed and will move on the dressage, which will be held Friday.

Sharon White looked lovely in coral in the trot up with Don Sheffield.

We saw a number of smart jog outfits today, with the guys looking particularly well turned out. I heard Will Coleman say he needed a tie because he forgot one as he was walking down to the jog lane to trot Obos O’Reilly. Whoever lent him the tie he ended up wearing deserves major kudos, as I thought the coral color really looked sharp with his linen jacket and navy slacks. For the ladies, Samantha and I thought Sharon White looked very stylish in her cream blazer with a coral sunhat and matching scarf. Coral was clearly the big winner today at the first horse inspection. Two rings will be running simultaneously for the dressage tomorrow. CCI1* dressage starts with the test ride at 9:30 a.m., and Waylon Roberts and Orion 49 will lead off at 10:03 a.m. CCI2* dressage also starts at 9:30 a.m. with the test ride, and Buck Davidson and Knight Lion will be the first to go at 9:55 a.m. I’ll be adding more jog photos to this post, so check back soon!
