Eventing

The Jersey Fresh Three-day Event hosted a record number of entries over the weekend in CIC and CCI divisions at both the two- and three-star level.

In the CCI3*, Andrea Leatherman rode her own Mensa to victory by the narrowest margin over Thailand's Nina Ligon and Fernhill Fearless. Leatherman moved up from fifth after the dressage to take the lead following the cross-country, posting one of only four double-clear rounds. In the final phase, Mensa left all the rails in place but collected five time faults to stay .6 points ahead of Ligon. Doug Payne and Running Order collected third place honors.

In the CIC3*, Will Faudree and Pawlow were the only pair in either three-star division to show jump double clear, as time faults plagued the majority of the competitors. Despite an impressive international record which includes Team Gold at the 2003 Pan American Games, this was Faudree's first individual win in an FEI competition. California natives, Tiana Coudray and Jennie Brannigan were second and third in the CIC3* on Master Hill and Cambalda respectively.

Young Riders, Caitlin Silliman (Catch A Star) and Arden Wildasin (Totally Awesome Bosco) led the U.S. effort in the CCI2* division, placing second and third behind Canada's Lisa Marie Fergusson and Smart Move.

The CIC2* was won handily by Canadian WEG veteran Rebecca Howard riding Roquefort. Will Coleman had two horses in the top four of this division, claiming second place with Obos O'Reilly and fourth with Westwind's El Dorado. Phillip Dutton and Young Man split Coleman's two horses in third place.

Jumping

Ashlee Bond and Cadett 7 cruised to a nice win in the Prix EADS on Sunday at CSIO La Baule, to cap off a week of ribbons for the U.S. squad at the first stop of the FEI Nations Cup Series. The Nations Cup squad of Bond, Charlie Jayne, Margie Engle and Rich Fellers fought back to place fifth in a hard knocking two round battle. The Irish prevailed, but the top five teams were separated by less than two rails and the course claimed some of the best in the world.

Christine McCrea on Avenir and Bond on Chivas Z kicked off the week in France with second and third place finishes respectively in Thursday's Prix Echo de la Presqu'il. This speed class was won by Frenchman Franck Schillewaert. In the Prix Ouest France, Fellers rode McGuinness to third place behind Rene Lopez and Frederic Busquet. He was third again that afternoon in the Prix du Conseil General de Loire Atlantique on Flexible in his preparation for the Nations Cup, less than three-tenths off the winning jump-off pace of Rene Lopez, who won again for Colombia.

On Friday, Baloubet Junior Z was third in the Prix le Val d'Evre for McCrea and Charlie Jayne rode Uraya to fourth in the Prix Generali.

The good results continued after the Nations Cup on Friday afternoon, when Bond and Chivas Z were fourth in the Prix Groupe Lucien Barriere Diane Barriere ¬Desseign. Fellers and McGuinness were fifth in the Derby de la Region des Pays de la Loire - Derby specialist William Funnell scored the win for Great Britain.

In the CSI2* at La Baule, Young Rider Caitlin Zeigler picked up ribbons in nearly every class. She started the show with a convincing victory in the Prix Casino Lucien Barriere La Baule, winning the one-round speed competition by more than four seconds on Butrangenia. This pair was then fourth in the Prix Cargill.

With Valencia, Zeigler was second in the Prix Edouard set Traiteur behind Margaux Rocuet from France and on Sunday, she capped off a huge week by placing second with a very fast four-fault jump-off effort in the Prix de Jockey Club.
