Michael Pollard and Schoensgreen Hanni, the dressage leaders, dropped to third place (53.2) by picking up 6.8 time penalties for finishing 17 seconds slow. Buck Davidson and The Apprentice moved up from seventh to fourth (56.2) by adding 2.8 time penalties. Alliston also stands in seventh place on Parker (64.8).
