It’s a busy weekend with events across the country, from Groton House in Massachusetts to Inavale in Oregon.  As mentioned earlier, a host of US Team horses are running Advanced at the New Jersey Horse Park, with divisions led by Marilyn Little (RF Demeter) and Emily Beshear (Here’s To You).  Erin Risso and Beacon lead the Intermediate/Prelim division at Groton House, while Madeline Backus and P. S. Arianna top the board in the Abbe Ranch (CO) I/P division.  Congrats also to Jennie Brannigan at Jersey for winning Open Training -A on a score of 17.7 with Kilkenny, and finishing third with Cool As Ice.
