Amy Tryon and her newish ride Le Samurai and Karen O'Connor riding Upstage competed at Hartpury last weekend.

Amy did only the Dressage (56.1) and the Show Jumping (4 faults) as a preparation for the Blenheim CCI*** and Karen completed Hartpury in 18th place. (Karen and Upstage are pictured at the right jumping into the Head of The Lake at Rolex Kentucky last spring.)

A number of competitors heading to the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany competed in the Dressage and Show Jumping. Australia's Andrew Hoy led the Dressage with Mr. Pracatan on 43.1 and had three rails in the Show Jumping. William Fox-Pitt (GBR) placed second after Dressage with Tamarillo on 42.4 and had two rails in Show Jumping. Zara Phillips (GBR) was fourth after Dressage on 43.4 and had two rails in the Show Jumping. Oliver Townend (GBR) rode Topping (not his WEG ride) to a 53.5 Dressage score with only one rail in the Show Jumping. None of these ran Cross Country.
