Though there were only three competitors in the Advanced division at Twin Rivers last weekend, the competition was fierce! Only a handful of points separated the three competitors after the dressage phase, and in the end it was Tamra Smith and Bubbles at Bricky who took home the blue. Fresh from their CIC2* win at Richland Park a few weeks ago, they started the event in second, then moved up after 9.2 time faults, and though they had a few rails on Sunday, were still far enough ahead to clinch the win. Dressage leaders Jordan Linstedt and Tullibards Hawkwind dropped to second with time faults, and Alexandra Slusher and Last Call rounded out the third place position, also picking up cross-country time faults, but jumping a double-clear show jumping round.

Kevin and ‘Jeff’ (pictured left) only added 7.6 cross-country time penalties to their dressage score of 28.5, and dropped a single rail on Sunday afternoon. Congratulations, Kevin!

Robyn Fisher of Topanga, California, managed to hold on to victory in the Adequan USEA Gold Cup CIC3* division at the Twin Rivers Horse Trials after cashing in her only rail in hand in show jumping aboard her own 13-year-old Holsteiner mare, Lady Calido. They finished on a score of 51.6. Tiana Coudray and Ringwood Magister didn’t touch any rails and exited the stadium with two time faults to retain their second place finish, while Julie Anne Boyer and Rumor Hazit maintained third place after adding only one time fault in the stadium.

Tiana Coudray, 21, of Ojai, CA and her eight-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Ringwood Magister trotted into the lead this afternoon at the Twin Rivers CIC3* in Paso Robles, CA. The exuberant gelding performed a stunning test, earning them a 38.8, nearly four points ahead of the second placed pair, Robyn Fisher and Lady Calido who posted a very commendable 42.0. Rounding out the top three with a 48.8 was Kristi Nunnink aboard her Holsteiner mare R-Star. Due to the extreme heat during the event, the cross-country times were shuffled and the upper-levels will head out on Derek di Grazia’s cross-country course tomorrow morning, instead of the afternoon.
