Hartpury Horse Trials results have just been posted. US riders Allison Springer, Sinead Halpin, and Sharon White were competing there for their final run before Burghley in the CIC3* section C. Sinead and Manoir de Carneville finished 8th, with clear jumping rounds and just 6.4 time penalties. Sharon and Rafferty’s Rules added a rail and 10 time, to finish 38th. Allison and Arthur had a stop or runout, 20 time, and a rail to wind up 59th. Jules Stiller and Enjoy Me of the USA also finished in the CIC3* in 30th with 7.2 XC time penalties and two rails in the show jumping.
Congrats to CIC*** winner Chris Burton and Kinnordy Rivaldo, who led start to finish adding only 1.6 time to their dressage score. Cross-country master (and recent Olympic Team Bronze winner) Andrew Nicholson went double clear on xc and show jumping to end up second. Kitty King and High Havoc were third.
Update: Allison Springer’s dressage test video and jumping report are posted on her Facebook page.
