Unfortunately, severe thunderstorms dampened competition at the Texas Rose Horse Trials today. With heavy rains falling right before the Advanced competitors ran, all but two horses in the division scratched. It’s disappointing that only two riders were able to enjoy the brand new Advanced course — and at such a slow place. Julie Norman, who was sitting in 5th after show jumping with Consensus, picked up 20.8 time penalties to win the division. Ellen Doughty, who was leading after both dressage and stadium on Sir Oberon, was very cautious around the course. She picked up 53.2 time penalties to finish in second place.
