Friday, May 9 - Second Day of Dressage

Friday was a horrid day! Rain, Rain and more rain! Cold, cold and more cold - temperatures in the very low fifties.

Only three competitors from the eighteen Friday entries made it into the top nine (with ties).

Karen O'Connor and Mandiba had a lovely test despite the elements and slipped into third place behind the over night leader Leslie Law and behind her other horse Allstar. (Karen and Mandiba are pictured at the right. Notice the slop in the all weather ring.)

Allison Springer, the first of the Friday riders in the CCI*** scored 49.6 with Destination Known, good for fifth place going into Saturday's Cross Country.

Sara Dierks and Somerset II landed in a tie for ninth place on a score of 52.4.
