In case you haven’t had a chance yet today to check hoefnet.com (or if you can’t read German), here’s what happened today at the Riesenbeck CAI:

In the pairs division, Misdee Miller earned a dressage score of 58.75, which puts her right about in the middle of the pack.

In the four-in-hand division … wow! Jimmy Fairclough finished the (four-in-hand) dressage phase in third place with a score of 48.00. Right behind him, in fourth place, is Tucker Johnson, who earned a 49.41. In the lead (in the CAI competition) after dressage is Christoph Sandmann of Germany, with a score of 40.45.

I don’t know what the standings are at this point in the Derby, but Tucker must still be right up there at or near the top. After the pairs portions of the Derby, I hear he was in second place, and today’s fourth-place finish in the four-in-hand dressage can’t have hurt!
