ust before the lunch break in the dressage phase of the B&D Builders CCI4*-S at The Event at TerraNova, Hallie Coon and the 11-year-old Holsteiner mare Cute Girl (Coventry x Caligula), whom Coon co-owns with Helen Coon, performed a foot perfect test to take the lead (28.5) from Phillip Dutton, who held the top three placings all morning. Caroline Pamukcu and the 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding Redfield Dexter (Dexter R x Zyreina Weering), owned by Pamukcu, Sherrie Martin, and The Dexter Syndicate, had a bold, forward test to slot into third place (33.5).
