Day two of competition at the MARS Bromont CCI saw the completion of dressage and another top score in the CCI-2*-L from Elisabeth Halliday-Sharp (USA) riding the 10-year-old Swedish Warmblood gelding Miks Master C – a horse formerly competed by Maya Black (USA).
Halliday-Sharp now leads the CCI4*-L, CCI3*-L and CCI2*-L divisions. In the CCI4*-S Sara Kozumplik of Berryville, Virginia riding the 17-year-old grey Selle Français gelding Rubens d’Ysieux, bettered 12 others to finish the day in first place on a score of 29.1. Kozumplik noted that her first three-day even was at Bromont in 1997; this year she is riding three horses in the CCI4*-S, CCI3*-L and CCI2*-L divisions.
Looking forward to tackling Saturday’s cross-country course designed by Derek di Grazia and constructed by Jay Hambly, Sara said, “This cross-country course is absolutely to die for. It is one of the best courses in the world. Everyone is so happy to be back here. It is my favourite event maybe outside of Kentucky in North America.”
