Ocala, Fla.—April 22—Jay Hambly’s CCI4*-S cross-country course at the Ocala International Festival of Eventing gave the CCI4*-S a very new shape, with Sharon White coming out on top with her own Claus 63.
“He deserves it,” White said of the 11-year-old Holsteiner (Catoo x Tina II). Sourced by Dirk Schrade, “Claus” has been carefully produced up the levels by White, and today the pair are enjoying the fruits of their labor with only 2.8 time penalties added for a final result of 35.5.
After Saturday's CCI3*-L cross-country at the MARS Maryland 5 Star, Sharon White and Jaguars Duende ascended from 9th place after dressage to take the lead with a score of 29.6. Sara Schulman held steady in second place on Cooley Chromatic, finishing their cross-country round with a score of 30.6. Alexandra Knowles and P.S. I Love You made an impressive jump from 14th place to third, finishing with a score of 31.4.
