Still cold today, but the sun is out, and most people seem better prepared for it today, bundled up as if it’s November! Some fresh horses out jumping, but from what I saw of the beginner novice cross country that looked to be riding really well, lots of vocal praise and pats from the riders that I watched and I only saw one problem on course. I did hear reports of perhaps the low, bright sun maybe causing a stop or two this morning in the novice, and I saw a lot of riders wearing sunglasses in the stadium in prelim which started bang on time at 8am.
More photos coming, but for now here are the scores from the sections that were finished so far.
Snuggled for warmth: Leo and Topper!
Live scoring! One of the running jokes all weekend has been to gently tease Robin Walker how many rides it took him to learn the course, and after how many horses he could have ridden it blindfolded. He duly won two of the three prelim sections, but Jesslyn Woodall was a very popular winner of the third, finishing on her dressage score. I’ve given up on the video today, it’s too demoralising. I’ll be back with more photos of the jumping later, and scores from the other divisions. Thanks for checking, and go eventing!
