Raindrops keep falling on my head...

Soggy, soggy, soggy!  National Championships and pouring rain are not meant to go together!  It has been pouring since early this morning...and everything is wet and muddy! The Brentina riders were incredible troopers and started their tests at 9 a.m. with our own, Alyssa Eidbo from Atlanta and Top Hat Dressage riding first.  Alyssa had a clean test and scored a 64.974 which, after all the other riders rode, put her in 4th place.  The top 4 riders are only separated by a point and a half, so anything is possible on Saturday, when the Brentina riders go again.  

The rain is so hammering and the arena's footing so bad, that the officials cancelled the remaining competition for today.  They will start an hour earlier tomorrow and the entire schedule has changed.  Jess is now riding at 1:45 tomorrow...Game On!
