The eventing ride times have been released for the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) at Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC). With the release comes the designation of team and individual riders. Each team can start up to four riders with the best three scores counting. Countries are also allowed to have one individual rider.

Coleman will head down centerline at 9:24 a.m. on Thursday. Next out will be Boyd Martin and Tsetserleg, Christine Turner’s 11-year-old Trakehner gelding who is the only other U.S. representative on Thursday at 1:39 p.m. Lynn Symansky will be the third team rider with her veteran, Donner, a 15-year-old Thoroughbred gelding owned by the Donner Syndicate. They ride at 10:19 a.m. Phillip Dutton and Z, the 10-year-old Zangersheide gelding owned by Thomas Tierney, Simon Roosevelt, Suzanne Lacy, Caroline Moran, and Ann Jones will anchor the team at 2:42 p.m. on Friday.

The 2024 K3DE Daily: First Horse Inspection

Lights, cameras, action! The first formal horse inspection (which some might informally refer to as "the jog") at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) takes place this afternoon at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. While this part of the event is a fan-favorite historically based on the impeccable turnout of the horses and the stylish and forward fashion choices of the riders (we are looking at you Boyd Martin in hopes that you bring back the American flag suit circa 2022), it serves a very important purpose: ensuring that each horse is fit, sound, and ready to compete at the five-star level.
