From Brian Ross: "Another beautiful Virginia day. 475 horses competing. Today we have 5 dressage arenas, 1 show jumping course and 2 cross country courses all running at the same time. God Bless Volunteers!"
Lost a bit in Galway, the Breeders’ Cup, and the Royal, this weekend is also the Virginia Horse Trials, hosting it’s own CCI* (3 divisions!) as well as CIC** and beginner novice through intermediate HT levels. Brian and Penny Ross always do a phenomenal job running these events, creating the best show possible for their competitors.
CCI* Division A has finished cross-country, and so far Ryan Wood leads with Woodstock Bennett on a 43.7. Linda Dahlgren with AFW Ami Fidele and Jennifer Simmons with Fernhill Shannondale are tied for second (47.8). Alexandra Knowles and Komik are in fourth (52.5), followed by Caitlin Silliman and Ballyneety (53.4).
