The intermediate divisions have already finished at Rocking Horse. Buck Davidson has simply dominated the leaderboard in both OI divisions, finishing first and second in both OI-A and OI-B. Australian newcomer and Canadian coach Clayton Fredericks finished fourth with Walterstown Don, after leading the dressage he added a rail and four time penalties on cross-country. Many entries in OI-A had a few time faults, but at this time of year that’s to be expected– most upper level horses are just knocking the rust off and getting warmed up for later in the season, and riders won’t be pushing them too hard at this point in the year.
