Buck Davidson had a great day at Poplar Place, where he’s currently leading the CIC2* with Wiley Post and the Advanced with Ballynoecastle RM following dressage and show jumping. With Rolex just a few weeks away, Buck will be using the run at Poplar Place this weekend as a tune up for Ballynoecastle RM and Mar de Amor, two of his three Rolex entries. We’ll also see Madeline Blackman and Gordonstown at Rolex; the pair is currently tied for fifth place in Open Advanced-B. Course designer Tremaine Cooper told us Polar was “very lucky with the weather here today. It was a very good day for the lower level cross country, and we are looking forward to the FEI and upper level cross country tomorrow.”
