A series of really great rides in yesterday’s afternoon dressage session shook up the top 10 and put several top riders in great position going into today’s cross-country round.

Bettina Hoy of Germany riding Ringwood Cockatoo had such a beautiful test that she scored a 28.2, the lowest dressage score ever recorded at the Rolex Kentucky Three Day (the lower the score the better, as opposed to high in straight dressage competition.) She’s sitting pretty in first place, followed by Lucinda Fredericks of Australia and Bruce Davidson Jr. with his second horse, My Boy Bobby.
