Sunday brought the news that cross country at Chattahoochee Hills at Bouckaert Farm would be canceled for the day due to inclement weather, but Saturday’s action revealed the winners of the $10,000 Advanced offering at the popular Fairburn, GA spring prep. The prize money comes from a pot of $35,000 offered during the spring calendar at the venue, which will also host a $25,000 Advanced/Intermediate, aimed at riders prepping for Kentucky, at the end of March.
As to be anticipated this time of year, time penalties were par for the course on yesterday’s cross country, but 5* pair Leslie Law and Tre Book’s Voltaire de Tre (Gentleman IV – Jasmina du Fresne) booked the quickest turn of foot to move up and take the win after starting the weekend tied for ninth.

Top Young Rider in USEF 3*-L National Championship Cassie Sanger picked up third with her own Fernhill Zoro (Verdi – Oronia 2), a strong showing in the pair’s third Advanced competition.
