Karen O’Connor has had a busy but very success Friday including two Bromont CCI2* dressage rides and Mr. Medicott in the CIC3*. Karen’s veteran partner Mandiba is currently leading the CCI2* on a 43.9 and her other ride, RF Amber Eyes, is currently in the top 5 as the CCI2* dressage continues this afternoon at Bromont. Karen was kind enough to take a few minutes to discuss her dressage ride on Mr. Medicott, her plan to run Mr. Medicott on the cross-country tomorrow, Mandiba’s comeback, her emotions from the passing of Dick Thompson earlier this week, and riding Mr. Thompson’s horse, RF Amber Eyes, this weekend.
Mr. Medicott’s performance was forward, correct, and, most of all, effortless. He scored a 43.0 performing what I thought was the picture of a nice flowing eventing dressage test. Karen and Mr. Medicott are in second behind Boyd and Remington with 9 CIC3* rides left this afternoon.
Check back soon for a full recap with pictures and videos of the afternoon CIC3* rides. Go eventing.
