It’s Hartpury weekend over in Gloucestershire, England and there’s a hefty CCI4*-S class to keep our eyes on. After a whopping 96 pairs cantered down the centerline, Bubby Upton and Cola have emerged as the leaders of this class claiming a score of 26.0. Not too far behind them on the leaderboard are Tom Jackson and Capels Hollow Drift with a 28.1, followed by Pippa Funnell and MCS Maverick on a 29.2.
In addition to the NAF Magic CCI4*-S, there’s also the British Open Championship to keep an eye on. This class was designed to prepare horses for a run at a fall five-star and by golly there are some big names in this class — just take a look the start list. This class will do their dressage tests this morning, jump this afternoon, and then run cross country tomorrow.
Check out the cross country courses for the 4*-S here and the British Open Championship here. You can watch the action live on H&C+!
