Photo Gallery of the Cross-Country Rounds at Fair Hill CCI3*
Boyd Martin and the light-footed Australian Thoroughbred Neville Bardos (pictured left) posted the only clear round of the CCI3* at Fair Hill International on Saturday afternoon. Karen O’Connor and Mandiba, the overnight leaders, added a handful of time penalties to drop to second, while Phillip Dutton and Kheops Du Quesnay galloped into third. Over 20 riders scratched their horses in the CCI3*, and those who ran in the muddy conditions were careful and safety-conscious. Check out the photo gallery of all the three-star riders who completed the course! Emily Daily & Josh Walker photos.
