Vern Sapergia is the first rider to represent Canada on Reining Team Canada at the 2010 Alltech World Equestrian Games. He has garnered a respectable score that moves him into 13th place at this point. Reports one of the Canadian horse owners, Terry Griffin, \”The crowd welcomed Vern with huge cheers. His mare turned big and circled nice, but drug a lead. Her first stop was huge, the second stop was very nice and just a little weak on the last stop. Vern did a great job and I know he would have liked to do better.\”

Well, we have finished another day at 2010 Weg here in Kentucky. It was not a stellar day for Canada as Vern Saperiga scored a 211.5 and this will make it very tough for Canada to medal in the team competition but we will see tomorrow. The Americans were very strong with Tim Mcquay and Craig Schmersal scoring big and they only need one out of two tomorrow to do well and they will be in a great postion.
We watched the Opening ceremony tonight and they did a great job of showcasing the state of Kentucky as well as demonstrations of the differant breeds of horses from around the world. Very well done.
More tomorrow.
