Karen and Mandiba jumped a double clear to win the CIC3* at Rebecca Farm. Mandiba was the only horse in the CIC3* to finish on his dressage score, he led wire to wire, and he won by over 12 points. Obviously the win is due to the EN Karma boost Karen got from being the guest on our live blog Saturday.
Buck Davidson and My Boy Bobby moved up an impressive three spots to finish in second with one of three double clears on the day. Phillip and TruLuck had a disappointing 4 rails to drop to third. Hawley Bennett and Ginny had two rails and dropped to fourth but they still had a great weekend overall.
1. Karen O’Connor and Mandiba +0 44.2
2. Buck Davidson and Bobby +0 56.4
3. Phillip and TruLuck +16 61.8
4. Hawley Bennett and Ginny +8 63.6
5. Sharon White and Rafferty’s Rules +4 64.6

The short listed horses for the US and Canada ruled the CIC3*, with the top three places going to the US short listers, and Hawley Bennett taking the fourth place for Canada.
High Patriot was in fourth after the XC, but withdrew prior to the stadium. I got word this morning that everyone was working hard to get High Patriot through the jog, and Phillip jogged him for Mara. I haven’t heard yet why High Patriot withdrew before the show jumping, but I’m guessing it was related to that.
Tiana Coudray wrapped up a tough weekend in the CIC3* by missing fence 10 in the show jumping. Ringwood Magister is undoubtedly the real deal and we will see them winning again soon. Tiana had a better weekend in the CCI2*, winning that division on Master Hill.
