Sixty-four horses will move on to dressage in the CCI divisions following the first horse inspection at the Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event in Allentown, New Jersey, this afternoon. All 24 horses that presented for the CCI3* were accepted, and 40 horses were accepted for the CCI2*.

Four horses were withdrawn from the CCI3* prior to the start of the jog: In Style, Ziggy, Pebbly Maximus and Twizted Syster. Tamie Smith posted on her Facebook page that Twizted Syster banged her leg in her stall and is not feeling 100 percent — a bummer of an end to their trip east.

Michael Pollard withdrew Songline and Will Faudree withdrew Caeleste before the CCI2* jog. Three horses were then sent to the holding box during the CCI2* jog: Alasca L V Z with Juan Larrazabal for Venezuela, Sarango with Daniel Carmac for Ecuador, and Petit Bleu Marine with Francesca Broggini for Switzerland.

Juan withdrew Alasca L V Z from the holding box, and Sarango was accepted after the ground jury of Christina Klingspor, Anibal Marianito, and Gretchen Butts wanted to take a closer look at the spur marks on Carmac’s side. Daniel told the ground jury that the horse has been battling a skin fungus after spending time in Florida, and they said they didn’t want him to ride with spurs during the competition. Petite Bleu Marine was also accepted upon re-presentation.

It’s a cloudy, pleasant afternoon here at the Horse Park of New Jersey, and everyone is wondering what the weather will bring later in the week. We have a forecast with hot temperatures and threatening thunderstorms currently in the cards, so we’ll see how it plays out. Ride times are being finalized now, and we’ll link to those when they’re ready.
