West Yorkshire, England—June 13  

U.S. riders Lauren Kieffer and Caroline Martin jumped around the CCI*** track at the Equi-Trek Bramham Horse Trials with just some minor mistakes to stay in the hunt after the cross-country.

Kieffer and Veronica jumped clean and picked up just 4.4 time penalties to move from tied for 10th after dressage to 12th place after cross-country. Martin and Quantum Solace were penalized with 11 jump penalties for breaking a frangible pin at the coffin complex, but are in 14th place in the Under-25 CCI*** division. Holly Woodhead leads the Under-25 division on DHI Lupison.

British rider Flora Harris, who is just 26, leads the CCI*** division on Bayano, just a few points ahead of veteran William Fox-Pitt on Fernhill Pimms.
