At 2pm the Showjumping phase of the CIC *** began, and this event would decide the final placings. With a good deal of rain overnight and intermittent showers from early in the morning, the going was not perfect. I spoke to quite a few of the competitors and they said that the footing was quite firm, presenting no real problems for them and their horses. When you look at the wonderful natural drainage on lovely sandy soil - I guess it is not surprising! |
