Good morning EN! I feel like this post will be soon lost among all of the Red HIlls updates that John and Samantha are cranking out- if you haven’t seen their top notch dressage coverage just scroll down, really you can’t miss it. The big story today is Phillip’s outstanding performance with new mount Mystery Whisper. The two blew the competition away and have a ten point lead. Don’t forget, this is a CIC***. Phillip has a ten point in a three star. I don’t know if that’s unheard of, but it is certainly not the everyday occurrence. Allison Springer and Marilyn Little-Meredith are tied for second, and Michael Pollard rounds out the top five sitting in both fourth and fifth. In the CIC** Kadi Eykamp leads over Alex Kim Perkiel. Jimmie Schramm holds first place in the CIC*. Cross country begins today with the preliminary, and the three star will begin jumping around 12:15. Good luck to all competitors! Keep watching for updates, they will be coming at you all day. [Live Scores]

Other random tidbit: if you’re in Aiken on Monday, be sure to check out
Cavalor’s complimentary champagne and Belgian chocolate reception. They are co-hosting with Bit of Britain at the Polo Tavern- also known as the bar inside the Hotel Aiken where karaoke goes down every Wednesday. The reception is from 6-8pm and since it’s free you have no reason not to go.

That’s all from me this morning, but like I said make sure to keep checking for John and Samantha’s cross country updates. Enjoy your weekend! Go eventing.
