One Spun, All U.S. Horses Pass At First Olympic Eventing Horse Inspection
The world’s best eventing horses and riders will be first out of the starting blocks when the equestrian action gets underway at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Versailles, France, tomorrow morning with the opening dressage test.
A total of 81 horses, including alternates, came before Ground Jury President Christina Klingspor (SWE) and Ground Jury members Xavier Le Sauce (FRA) and Robert Stevenson (USA) at this morning’s first horse inspection which began with some gentle rain in the air.
A total of four horses were held over for reinspection before being passed fit to compete. They were Cash in Hand (Noor Slaoui – MAR), Toubleu de Rueire (Melody Johner- SUI), Golden Midnight (Malin Asai – SWE) and Banzai du Loir (Yasmin Ingham – GBR).
One additional horse, DSP Fighting Line (Lea Siegl - AUT), was reinspected and did not pass.
There was a late change to Team USA’s line-up following the withdrawal of Will Coleman’s Diabolo. Liz Halliday and Nutcracker have moved up from the alternate position to join Boyd Martin (Fedarman B) and Caroline Pamukcu (HSH Blake), while Sydney Elliott and Diamantaire have been promoted to the alternate reserve position.
The first phase of dressage will begin at 9:30 a.m. GMT+2/3:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 27.
