Good morning EN! There are a lot of events happening this weekend, as in too many for me to fully recap individually. So I’m going to do my best to give you the Weekend Result Rundown: two minute edition. Here we go:

Morven Park: Connor Husain won the OI, Gillian Cowley won the Junior Training, and Courtney Cooper the Training Horse. Preliminary and Novice do all three phases today. [Scores]

Galway Downs: James Alliston won the CIC*** with Jumbo’s Jake, followed by himself on Tivoli. Katherine Groesbeck and Oz The Tin Man won the CIC** by nearly ten points, and Barbra Crabo won the CIC* with Over Easy. The national divisions finish up today. [Scores]

Spring HT at the Ark: Penny Rowland won the OP, Kindell Billingsley the Novice Rider, and Kathleen Herbig took home the blue in the TR with Mayhem. As John reported earlier, Maggie Hitron lost her mount Willpower on course yesterday during the event. “Will” was seventeen and passed away from an apparent aneurism. EN sends heartfelt condolences to Maggie and everyone who loved Will. [Rest in Peace Willpower] [Scores]

Rocking Horse: I am happy to report that Karen and Mandiba are leading the OI after stadium on their dressage score of 28. Buck is also back in the tack, holding down second and third in the same division with Absolute Liberty and Titanium, respectively.

Training and above will do cross country today, while novice and beginner novice will finish up with their stadium jumping. [Scores]

Mike Huber is leading OP-A with On Eagle’s Wings, while Noreen Corlett is in first in the OP-B with Hawk’s Honor. Joan Hamilton and Manhattan Skyline lead the TR-A and Danny Warrington the ON-A.
