All Adequan USEA Gold Cup CIC3* Horses Pass Final Horse Inspection at Richland Park
All sixteen Adequan USEA Gold Cup horses presented to the ground jury passed the horse inspection this morning at Richland Park Horse Trials. One withdrew after cross-country, The Conair Syndicate’s Soupcon du Brunet, who was ridden by Will Coleman.

Two were sent to the hold box – Ellen Doughty-Hume’s Sir Oberon and Chase and Darcy Shipka’s Palm Crescent, ridden by Meghan O’Donoghue – but were reaccepted upon their second presentation. Sir Oberon pulled a shoe on the jog strip, but felt much better after a quick visit with the farrier. Palm Crescent seemed a little sleepy in his first trot up, but once he was encouraged to have a more enthusiastic trot, the ground jury was happy to send him onto the show jumping competition.

These competitors, along with the eleven in the Advanced division will start show jumping at 11:30, about 30 minutes earlier than the originally posted ride times. Riders will compete in reverse order of standing.
