Ocala Update

Well the Ocala Horse Trails is all dressaged out by now. The CCI** is now complete and all riders are focused on tomorrow. Hopefully everyone has done their 32 course walks and can now sleep peacefully, dreaming of dropping beautifully into the water. Rumor on the street is that the Holling event crew are headed to a monster truck show for an evening of relaxation. I secretly wish I was going…

In the CCI** there is no surprise in the leader being Leslie Law and the lovely Rehy Lux on a 40.6. Joe Meyer is close behind on Intrepid with a 42.2. I believe Joe is over from England (headed to Kentucky)- then again I could be completing making that up in my head…The Courageous Comet look alike, Can’t Fire Me, and Becky Holder sit third on a 43.4.

According to those in Florida, there was a little more breeze today. However, the breeze did not distract from the tough courses that are ahead.

On a funny note, DOC was riding Quintis 54 (in the Advanced CT) today for KOC. It seems as though David had a hard time remembering the test leading to multiple errors. Don’t worry, eventually someone jumped in and read the test to him! I will refrain from making an old age/memory joke.

On the Advanced CT note, Joe Meyer is leading with Rolex ride, Snip. He sits on a 52 with Hannah Burnette following on a 54.5.

Joe Meyer is cross entered on Snip and therefore leading the Intermediate with a 32.

Looking at the score board, one could assume scoring was very tough. However, we all know that will change drastically tomorrow.

Now thanks to Jaclyn and Alex from the Holling crew, EN views can see a few fences on the CCI*/** course…
