Well, with 11 riders still to go and a break for lunch the 3 star dressage is underway.
At the moment its Chris Burton on Newsprint with Heath Ryan and Mystery Whisper both sitting on equal first. These riders have a real shot at winning this event and they will be pushing hard to put pressure on the rest of the class. Chris seems to have been working on the Dressage phase, and has gone the extra mile to try and outdo the crafty Heath Ryan. Heath was in the lead after Dressage at the last Sydney 3DE and it will be very difficult to better these performances today. Both riders are sitting on 46.3 penalties right now.
Georgina Clifford on It’s Monty is sitting on 50.4 penalties, however with more riders to yet come the competition is sure to heat up.
