Dressage is finishing up at Southern Pines, where a lot of big names were out in full force. Not many surprising results…the leaderboard shows familiar names near the top as you’d expect. And as we’ve seen all season, horses and riders have been earning some very impressive scores. With the exception of Jr Training Rider, all first-place pairs in every division scored under 30.0 C’mon kids, can’t you do better than 31?! Just joking of course…I was thrilled to break 40 when I was Jr TR!
