It’s the Carl Bouckaert, Ronald Zabala-Goetschel, and Nina Ligon division at Poplar Place in the CIC3*. With just 10 pairs in the division, those three riders have 7 of the horses. Ronald Zabala-Goetschel and Master Hill are second, just 0.9 points behind Nina. Becky Holder and Can’t Fire Me are third with 50.7. Nina Ligon is 4th on Butts Leon and Carl Bouckaert occupies the next two spots with Cyrano Z and Mensa respectively. The CIC3* division is a bit small this year and my guess is that it is because most riders needing a CIC3* qualifier for a fall CCI3* would have tried last weekend at Plantation to give themselves as backup this weekend.
Heather Morris and First Mark are winning the 10 horse advanced division on 29.0. There is a CIC2*, CIC*, and a complete horse trials at Poplar with scores coming in throughout the day.
