Kieffer (Ocala, Fla.) and Team Rebecca, LLC’s Veronica earned a mark of 44.2 on Thursday to lie within striking distance heading into the cross country. On Saturday, the Land Rover USEF Competition Grant recipients will look to replicate the form that led them to a second place finish at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Land Rover.
“This course is much tighter; the lanes are narrow, there’s a lot more twistiness to it. So I think it will be very different but hopefully it suits the Americans,” said Kieffer in comparing the Pau and Kentucky tracks.
Standing 13th after scoring a personal best in the dressage are Sharon White (Summit Point, W.V.) and her own and Richard Weber’s Wundermaske on a score of 48.7, while Erin Sylvester and her own and Jill Tallman’s No Boundaries are 30th on a 59.3.
Clark Montgomery (Wiltshire, UK) had been scheduled to ride Jessica Montgomery, Carole Montgomery, Janet Higgins, and Elizabeth Smith’s Universe on Friday afternoon, but chose to withdraw when the gelding was found to have a minor injury.
