The decimated field in the CCI4*-S at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event ‒ just 22 remaining from the original 40 starters thanks to an unforgiving cross-country course ‒ took to the main arena on Sunday over Steve Stephens show jumping track. Lots of rails were lowered and many had trouble making the 80 seconds time allowed.

For the Canadians, Jessica Phoenix and Wabbit were first up (and first out to test the course). They had a number of lucky rubs and then took the final fence down, plus added 3.2 time penalties. Their final score of 66.5 put them in a very respectable 10th place to finish the weekend.

She was followed by Colleen Loach and FE Golden Eye, who logged one of just five clear rounds without jumping or time penalties to retain their score of 71.1 and finish in 12th place.
