The second day of dressage at the 2017 PEDIGREE® Bromont CCI Three Day Event was lead by Jordan Linstedt of Redmond, Washington on her and Barbara Linstedt's 14-year-old Hanoverian gelding Revitavet Capato (Contendro x Annabelle) with a score of 43.20 in the CCI3*. Australia's Ryan Wood riding Powell (Pal) ended the day just behind Linstedt with a score of 43.80.
In describing how Linstedt and Capato came to Bromont after having to withdraw from Kentucky Three-Day Event before cross-country she said "because the horse was not feeling 110%", following up by saying "they rerouted to Jersey Fresh CIC3*, where Capato actually lost 3 shoes running around that track".

Wood when speaking of his beautiful dressage test and his mount, Powell, an 11-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Pablito x Dinaro) owned by Summit Sporthorses said "I was thrilled with him". Looking ahead to the cross-country course designed by Derek di Grazia on Saturday Wood said "Derek's done a great course as always. I look forward to getting Pal out there, I think it's going to be a great test for both of us."
