Miller and Mama Mia Make Their Mark in the CCI3*-L at Fair Hill
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 17—The main arena at the MARS Maryland 5 Star opened Thursday morning with dressage tests for the CCI3*-L field. Kiersten Miller is currently leading the field after producing a score of 28.4 aboard Mama Mia, a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare (Indoctro x Lysienne II) owned by Miller and bred by Heather Crespo.
Sara Schulman and Cooley Chromatic, an 8-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Thorgal x Castrade), owned by Schulman, currently sit in second place, just behind the leader at 28.6, while Allison Springer (Womanizer x Heartbreaker) and Castle Howard Romeo, a gelding owned by Susan Fitzpatrick and Frances Robinson, are slotted just behind them with a 28.7.
“She has always been pretty 0 to 100, that’s my best way of describing her so you never really know what’s going to upset her on any given day,” said Miller of her mare. “I think the key to riding her is letting her think that she is doing things on her terms and she’s making all the decisions, so I always finesse with her. I figure out places where I can give and where I can take again and put the pressure on and take it off so I can get through the tests successfully without any blowups, but it seems like we are sort of in the clear now.”
The second day of dressage in the CCI3*-L division will continue tomorrow with the first combinations scheduled to ride down the centerline at 9:05 a.m.
