Kentucky Horse Park Stadium

The stadium part of the competition begins with much fanfare. Riders go in the order of their current placings, so the top competitors are the last to go. Remember these horses gave their all yesterday for the cross country ride and are a bit tired today. Lots of rails came down and the placings shuffled around a great deal.
 Hawley Bennett-Awad from Canada riding Gin and Juice had a fairly nice round with one pole down.
 Jumps were varied and were to depict Kentucky. Here's a horse jumping neatly over the "mountian" jump, with a water jump/paddlewheel in the foreground.
 William Fox-Pitt and Seacookie (GBR) clear this jump - and all the others! No faults for them.
And the lovely Quimbo ridden by Andrew Nicholson of New Zealand had a fault free round as well.
