All Olympic Horses Safely Through First Jog
Eventing teams from all over the globe made their first Olympic appearance this morning in Greenwich Park at the first veterinary inspection. The United States team was the first to jog following the individual from Ecuador, and all horses passed on the first inspection.
There were a few horses from other countries, however, who were held and had to have a second inspection. Lionel Guyon and Nemetis de Lalou of France, Peter Barry and Kilrodan Abbott of Canada, South Africa’s Alex Peternell and Asih, and Serguei Fofanoff's mare, Barbara, of Brazil were all held, but passed on re-inspection. Great Britain’s Zara Phillips was asked to jog High Kingdom a second time although they were not formally held.
With sound horses from all Olympic eventing teams, London is ready to open up the competition with the dressage phase tomorrow and Sunday. The order of go for the teams is as follows: Ecuador, USA, Australia, France, South Africa, Poland, Germany, Ireland, Canada, Belgium, Netherlands, Belarus, Japan, Brazil, Italy, Austria, Great Britain, Sweden, Jamaica, New Zealand, Russia, and Thailand. Team USA will complete their first phase tomorrow, so keep in touch to see where our team stands after their first round.
