Tiffani Loudon-Metze didn’t take any chances when she left the start box today, April 17, at the Florida International Three-Day Event in Ocala. She and Lo Fino blazed around the CCI** course with time to spare to remain in the lead for tomorrow’s show jumping.

While Loudon-Metze took control of the CCI** early in dressage on Friday, she knew she would have to go clean in order to stay on top. Leahona Rowland and Lorenzo III and Danielle Dichting and Tops were hot on their heels in second and third, respectively, and only 5.8 penalty points separated the top five combinations.
