Olympic veteran William Coleman (USA) and Off the Record are on top of the leaderboard in the CIC** scoring 43.3 penalties in the dressage phase at the Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event (JFI), presented by BW Furlong & Associates. Hannah Sue Burnett (USA) is second with 45.7 penalties on Cooley Dream and Boyd Martin (USA) is third with 46.1 penalties riding Tsetserleg. This is the first CIC** for Off the Record, but Coleman was pleased with how his young horse performed.

“He was good, he’s a young horse, he’s only seven and this is his first CIC**. I was pleasantly surprised with how he did,” said Coleman of his Irish Sport Horse. “He can do a good test but for the first time at this FEI Level I thought he performed pretty well. He’s still got a long way to go but he has a lot of nice qualities.”

Competitors in the CIC participate in both the show jumping and the cross country on Saturday. Coleman will jump in the ring in the morning and follow on the cross country course in the afternoon. He believes that show jumping and the John Williams designed cross country course might be a challenge, but one that Off the Record can handle.
