Day two of dressage at the 2018 MARS Incorporated Bromont CCI Three Day Event saw Switzerland’s Felix Vogg move into the lead with a penalty score of 30.20 riding the Germany-bred gelding, Colero.

Asked about the venue Felix said “it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world” and “perfect for Eventing.”

William Coleman (USA) who led the CCI2* following Thursday dressage on TKS Cooley added a 1st and 5th in the CIC2* with Off The Record (ISH) and Soupcon du Brunet (AA) respectively. Off The Record has a penalty score going in to cross-country of 26.10 just .60 ahead of Matt Flynn (USA) riding Get Lucky.
