Raeford, N.C.—March 20  

To say Phillip Dutton was totally confident heading into the show jumping arena on I’m Sew Ready at the Cloud 11- Gavilan North LLC Carolina International wouldn’t exactly be true.

Dutton has jumped many a CIC*** round on more horses than he can count and had already been around Marc Donovan’s course twice earlier in the day, but rails had been falling throughout the division and he’s had the ride on the gelding for his usual rider, Kristen Bond, for less than a year while she was pregnant.
