*****
The Open Intermediate divisions have wrapped up at Rocking Horse Winter III, with Buck Davidson and Santa’s Keeper winning OI-A on a 35.2 and Ashley Leith and Tactical Manuever winning OI-B on a 39.6. Lauren Kieffer had an excellent day, placing fourth on Veronica in OI-A with a 36.6 and taking second and third in OI-B with a 44.6 on Cosima and a 50.6 on Czechmate, respectively. All other divisions are still running. Despite the EHV1-scare in Florida and the numerous subsequent scratches from the event, all the divisions saw a decent turnout. Kudos to Rocking Horse for requiring 72-hour health certificates and implementing various biosecurity measures.
