Tiana Coudray, 21, of Ojai, CA and her eight-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Ringwood Magister trotted into the lead this afternoon at the Twin Rivers CIC3* in Paso Robles, CA. The exuberant gelding performed a stunning test, earning them a 38.8, nearly four points ahead of the second placed pair, Robyn Fisher and Lady Calido who posted a very commendable 42.0. Rounding out the top three with a 48.8 was Kristi Nunnink aboard her Holsteiner mare R-Star. Due to the extreme heat during the event, the cross-country times were shuffled and the upper-levels will head out on Derek di Grazia’s cross-country course tomorrow morning, instead of the afternoon.
