Cross-country is still in progress at Luhmuhlen, but three of the four US rides have completed. There has been some trouble on the course so far, with a couple falls, stops, and runouts throughout.
Julian Stiller added 40 penalties with Enjoy Me in the CIC***; a refusal or runout at 16c and 24b. [CIC*** Results]
Cross-country machine Shiraz and Colleen Rutledge went clear, adding 8 time penalties to their score.
Boyd Martin and Ying Yang Yo were going well, but encountered trouble at 19b and retired. According to @eventingmag, 19a is a big wide barn with a tough right turn to 19b, a skinny brush. It seems to have caught out several riders so far, including Francis Whittington and Easy Target as well.
Chapel Amble and Julian Stiller are set to go in about half an hour (10:09EST). We will update after her ride.
[UPDATE] Unfortunately, Jules suffered a fall at 15a (the second water) on Chapel Amble, resulting in elimination.
