It’s just Friday night and we are already two thirds of the way through the Galway CIC competitions. Alexandra Slusher and Last Call had a pole down in the CIC3* but so did almost everyone else and the pair will take a three second lead going into the XC tomorrow. Hawley and Ginny moved from fifth to second with one of just two double-clears of the division–Jil Walton and My Sedona were the other pair with that honor. According to the Galway twitter feed, Debbie Rosen and The Alchemyst had a big jump over the triple bar and then Debbie fell in the triple. Both horse and rider were reportedly fine.
