Successful Start for Three-Star Competitors at Rebecca Farm
It was a full day of horse inspections in Big Sky Montana at The Event at Rebecca Farm. The day began with the USEA Classic Series Novice and Training Three-Day divisions, followed by the Adequan/FEI North American Youth Championships (NAYC) inspections, and then moving into the rest of the FEI divisions. Eleven horses in the Adequan USEA Gold Cup CIC3* were presented to the Ground Jury of Christina Klingspoor (SWE), Peter Gray (CAN) and Jane Hamlin (USA), and then an additional 12 horses in the CCI3* division followed.
Ellen Doughty-Hume’s Sir Oberon was sent to the holding box upon first inspection of the Ground Jury in the CCI3*, but then was accepted upon his second presentation. At the end, all 11 horses in the Adequan USEA Gold Cup CIC3* division were accepted, as were all 12 horses in the CCI3*.
The CCI3* includes three four-star horses in Indy 500, Sir Oberon, and High Times, but also has three CCI3* first-timers in Mowgli, Rembrandt, and Sandro’s Star. Between the Adequan USEA Gold Cup CIC3* division and the CCI3* division, the international field contains riders representing the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The Adequan USEA Gold Cup CIC3* dressage kicks off Friday at 1:45 p.m. (MDT) and the CCI3* immediately follows at 3:50 p.m. (MDT).
