All horses who presented this morning at the final horse inspection at the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International Three-Day Event were accepted, but one notable horse wasn’t presented. D.A. Duras, Jacqueline Mars and Debbie Adam’s 11-year-old KWPN gelding (Numero Uno x Medoc) was withdrawn by Lauren Kieffer before the horse inspection. The pair were sitting in third place in the CCI4*-L so their withdrawal moves up the majority of the division.
In the CCI3*-L Babette Lenna Gonyea’s entry Marketscan, an 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding owned by Babette Brandt, was held but accepted upon reinspection. They will go into show jumping in 46th place.
Show jumping begins with the CCI3*-L at 10:30 a.m. and 50 horses will jump. The CCI4*-L follows at 1:00 p.m. with 29 horses to jump over Marc Donovan’s course.

I wanted another horse of color, and my friend sent me the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) internet adoption link. I was amazed at all of the horses available on the internet auction, but I quickly fell in love with Woodrow. I learned that he was a popular band stallion in Wyoming and had been followed by photographers for close to three years.
