Links: Fair Hill Ride Times, Live Scores
The CCI3* dressage at Fair Hill starts Friday morning with Silva Martin giving the test ride aboard Remington. In the CCI2*, Clark Montgomery has taken an early Thursday afternoon lead with Loughna Glen on a 45.3. Clark has another chance to better his own score with Universe, also in the CCI2*. Clark is definitely one of the most talented riders in the country without an active 3* horse right now, so can we please get him an advanced horse? I’m looking at you eventing gods.
The weather in Elkton, MD is supposed to be windy with highs in the 60’s over the weekend.
Meanwhile in the Netherlands…
For the US contingent, Will Faudree and Andromaque are placed in 20th with a 57.0 and Doug Payne is in 36th with a 62.6. There are over 100 competitors in the field. One thing that I have not mentioned yet is that the UK based rider Aimee Chambers is competing for the US aboard After Eight and she rides tomorrow along with Sinead and Tiana. There is also a team competition going on at Boekelo and the US team is in fifth after Thursday. Thanks to PH for the scoreboard link and KM for the Boekelo TV link.
One of my favorite Boekelo links is Meg Kep’s blog about grooming at Boekelo.
I’ll let this video tell you about the rest of Thursdays dressage
Video from the Wednesday jog–what’s with European eventing videos and absurd music?
Go eventing.
