Marissa Nielsen and her own Vinetta M are in a very favorable position after the first two phases at the Woodside CIC3* — right at the very top in the pair’s debut at the level.
Marissa and the 9-year-old Hanoverian (Caproni x Parodie, by Pommery) earned a 34.8 in the dressage before having one pole down and one time penalty for a current score of 39.8. These two are in fine form, coming to Woodside off a third place finish in the CCI2* at Rebecca Farm over the summer, followed by a clean cross country run in their Advanced debut at Twin Rivers in September.
Alexis Helffrich and London Town.
Alexis Helffrich is second aboard London Town, an 11-year-old Thoroughbred/Warmblood (Laitin x Kildara Baylee, by Rising Fortune) owned by Pamela Williams. After posting a 34 in the first phase, the pair had two rails and 7 time penalties to sit on 49 points.

Kerry Groot and Borasco are fourth on 58 penalty points, and Liza Horan is sixth with Lafite on a score of 58.3.

Bec Braitling follows in second with Lauren Burnell’s Santana II, an 8-year-old Oldenburg (Camax L x Hofdame H, by Heraldkik xx), after they had two pesky time penalties in the show jumping for a current score of 29.5. Madison Temkin took third with her own Dr. Hart. The 11-year-old Thoroughbred (Skimming x Moving Memo, by Memo) jumped clear to stay on his dressage score of 31.7.
