Updated: The scoreboard confirms our initial report that Kelli made the time and leads the CCI2*. The five riders behind Kelli all had issues, giving her and Axel Rose a 9.6 point lead going into the show jumping. There were 10 double clears in the CCI2* and the top 8 placings after XC all had double clears. Valerie Vizcarrondo and Clifton Jade moved up from 19th to 11th on a strong XC ride and one of the 10 double clears.
One horse tied up in the vet box and rode back to the barns in the horse ambulance, and apparently another horse did as well, but both are fine now.
1. Kelli Temple and Axel Rose – 45.0
2. Will Faudree and Andromaque – 54.6
3. Laura VanderVliet and Mighty Mangaroo – 55.2
4. Shandiss Wewiora and Fionn McCuhal – 55.4
5. Nate Chambers and Rolling Stone II – 56.1
