Mexico has a solid base of small tour riders that do relatively well at regional games, but unfortunately, not many of them make transition to the big tour (Grand Prix) level. On the other hand, prospects of a Mexican team in eventing are looking more promising after Karen O'Connor became a coach recently. Daniela Moguel improved big time over the last 12 months and can possibly do really well at the upcoming Rolex Kentucky next month (the "US Open" of eventing). Few weeks ago she was 5th at 3* in Florida, which had some big names. Wow I didn't knew she was being coached by Karen O'Connor... hope Moguel continues to improve and now I'm gonna add her event, to my follow calendar dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted March 25, 2017 Author #72 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Yesterday we had a bit of black Friday... Both Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Hans Peter Minderhoud had to pull out from Omaha WC finals just hours before their horses were scheduled to fly. It's probably too late for potential replacements. http://www.eurodressage.com/equestrian/2017/03/25/minderhoud-and-von-bredow-werndl-withdraw-2017-world-cup-finals #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cumulative. In the first two rounds everybody starts from 0 and they get points for their finishing places (1st gets 38 pts, 2nd 36 pts, 3rd 35 pts, ... , 37th 1 pt). Points will be summed and converted into starting penalties for the third and final round. Edited March 30, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
