Elkton, MD – The second day of dressage at the Dansko Fair Hill International CCI got off to a late start on Friday after lightning storms caused an hour delay. Rain continued to threaten throughout the day and struck during the first rides of the final afternoon session as competitors completed the first phase the USEF National Two and Three-Star Eventing Championships. In the CCI3* Hannah Sue Burnett and Harbour Pilot hold the lead going into the cross country with a score of 43. No one was able to catch Thursday’s CCI2* leader Susan Beebee and Wolf as their score of 40.8 proved to be unassailable.

Elkton, MD – The USEF National Two-Star Eventing Championships got underway Thursday as the first half of the CCI2* performed their dressage test at the Dansko Fair Hill International CCI. Twenty-nine competitors rode in front of the Ground Jury of Ulrich Schmitz and Gretchen Butts on a beautiful yet breezy autumn day as the final combination before the lunch break Susan Beebee and Wolf set the standard on the first day scoring 40.8, to lead the CCI2* and the National Championship.

Beebee (Southern Pines, NC) presented a lovely, accurate test with her own nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding. The pair was rewarded for expressive and ground covering trotwork and a particularly beautiful medium. Their impressive effort was only slightly marred by a mistake in the second turn on the haunches and a small amount of tension in the walk.

“Anything with Wolf is a great day,” said a pleased Beebee. “In this ring they always pick up and he’s always great here.”
