The 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador kicked off this past weekend, and will the running through the first week of July. While there are 37 sports competing throughout these few weeks, we see our Equestrians kicking off the Games earlier in the competition.
Eventing wraps up today, with the show jumping phase later in the afternoon. While we’re recapping Eventing action here, Equestrian events will still be representing with Dressage competitions running June 27-30th, and Show Jumping running July 2nd-5th. You can see the whole schedule of events here.
As we head into the final day of Eventing competition today, we see Rolando Gonzalez with Coin Toss leading for the Dominican Republic, after adding nothing to their dressage score of 28.20. U.S.-based Lauren Billys Shady and Can Be Sweet, riding for Puerto Rico, move down from first after adding 8.40 cross country penalties, and sit in second going into show jumping. Honduras’ Lara Gabrie and Harrison round out the top three, moving up from 8th place after dressage. Current results can be found here.
Following along with the action on social media, we also saw a familiar face coaching Team Barbados – U.S.’s very own Sara Kozumplik! Take a scroll through the action here, and keep an eye out for final results!
