We’re underway today with the Agria Blenheim Palace International CCI4*-L and 8/9-Year-Old CCI4*-S Championships and today’s schedule includes the first halves of both four-star divisions’ dressage. Dressage begins at 9:00 am BST / 4:00 am EST with the CCI4*-S division, and then at 10:25 am BST / 5:25 am BEST with the Agria CCI4*-L division. You can view full scores and orders here.
For those of you following the £50,000 Blenheim Challenge, scoring for this match-based competition can be found here. Team USA/Stars and Stripes (which this weekend welcome another (temporary) Aussie transplant of sorts in Adelaide winner Oliver Barrett) has one point in their corner already as the winners of the Best Turned Out prize from Wednesday’s horse inspection.
A full explainer of this Blenheim Challenge plus today’s dressage head-to-head draws can be found here.
All of the action this weekend can be found on Horse & Country here. A membership or viewing plan will be required to view this event (you can save on a first-time purchase of an H&C+ Annual Subscription by using code EVENTINGNATION15).
