Brazilian and Aussie Team Updates

By John on July 29, 2010 9:30 AM, Filed Under

Ruy Fonseca

The Brazilian World Equestrian Games eventing team has been announced according to Eventing Worldwide:

Ruy Fonseca & Tom Bombadill Too: Based in the UK, a former gold medalist at '95 Pan Am Games 
Guto de Faria & Ritz Carlton: Competed at Sydney Olympics, rides in Brazil 
Guega Fofanoff & Ekus TW: Former Pan Am gold medalist, competed at 3 WEGs and 3 Olympics 
Jesper Martendall & Land Jimmy - Based in Brazil and short listed for Beijing Olympics

Ruy's quote about the team mentions everything but the WEGs:
"It's a good mix with experienced riders and some promising young horses. This will be a big step up for them, and we hope they will be in their prime for London 2012. We will then be looking ahead to Rio de Janeiro 2016. [Coach] Nick (Turner) is doing a fantastic job and must be one of British Airways best customers at moment! Next year our goal is the Pan American Games in Mexico (Guadalajara City) where we hope to qualify a Team for London 2012."

I was going to include a funny photo about Brazil, but I was afraid I would get abducted.  Seriously, go find a US team member from '07 Rio and ask them how excited they are to go back to Brazil in 2016.  
----

If you ever want to see an Australian get really excited, just say two words: "Steven Bradbury", winner of Australia's first winter Olympic gold medal.


Now for the Aussie team--as we reported a while ago, the Australian team is being very patient about naming their short list.  Camilla, an EN reader who is always very kind to keep us updated on all things eventing 'down under,' has sent us this report on the Aussies WEG prospects.  According to Camilla, Heath Ryan summed up the probable short list in this month's The Horse Magazine in Australia.  These are his picks and Camilla's information on the riders:

--Team--
Sonja Johnson and Ringwould Jaguar: Despite Jaguar's age, he is still sensational - and fast!
Megan Jones and Kirby Park Irish Jester: Winner of the Kihikihi (NZ) WC qualifier, best placed of the Aussie Silver medal team in Hong Kong. 
Paul Tapner and Inonothing: Badminton winners
Sam Griffiths and Happy Times: Great results in the UK, including the Chatsworth WC qualifier

--Individual--
Chris Burton and HP Leilani: winners of the Sydney WC qualifier
Stuart Tinney: on either Vettori (winner of Adelaide 4*) and the gorgeous Panamera. 

The final 'hit-out" for the Australian-based eventers will be at the Sydney International 3DE (August 26-28), which will also feature a WEG showcase of all the eight equestrian sports. This won't be a real event for the team horses, rather they'll do the dressage, run a modified XC (probably part of the 3* track) and showjump.

Thanks for the report Camilla and go eventing.

Belgian WEG short list

By John on July 20, 2010 6:11 PM, Filed Under

 

As part of our ongoing efforst to provide complete WEG coverage, here is an overview of the Belgian team's WEG prospects, kindly submitted by RL, an EN reader and Belgian team follower.

In late June, the Belgians released a training list and they shortened that list in mid-July to the following riders:

Virginie Cauliers
Jarno Debusschere (Admiral von Schneider)
Lara de Liederkerke (Nooney Blue)
Karin Donckers (Gazelle de la Brasserie or Lamicell Charizard)
Valentine Gernay
Lisa Sabbe (Steelbrook)
Sarah van Hasselt (Arctic Fox Too)
Joris van Springel (Limestone, Lully des Aulnes)
 
The most familiar name on this list for me is Karin Donckers, who has competed at Rolex multiple times.  I was surprised to see Carl Bouckaert, who owns Chattahoochee Hills and is a regular on the Belgian team, left off the list, and it seems that RL agrees:

 

RL's thoughts: "I would personally be very surprised not to see Carl work his way onto the team, though he has been quite occupied stateside, lately. I could see him perhaps taking Charizard, even. This may not be the year for Jarno, unless he finds himself a horse, perhaps even Maxwell Steele. Lisa and Sarah are both young and new, but Steelbrook is a veteran and both Lisa and Sarah have been part of the national team trainings for some time now. Overall, Karin and Joris are the only no brainers."

 
 
In other news...
Boyd's blog confirms what we reported yesterday, Rock On Rose was sold to a professional in Oregon.
 
The UN is suggesting the use of guard donkeys.  I'd rather have donkeys guarding me than the UN.
 
We linked to this earlier, but the Para-Equestrian short list was announced this morning.

USEF Adds Titanium and Kheops to the Short List

By John on July 19, 2010 10:08 AM, Filed Under

As promised, the USEF has added two horses to the 16 pairs already named to the US eventing short list for the World Equestrian Games.  The two pairs added Monday are:

Buck Davidson and Titanium
Phillip Dutton and Kheops du Quesnay

These two and the previous 16 pairs on the short list will be submitted to the FEI as the Nominated Entry for the WEGs on August 16th, and the short list pairs that still intend on going to the Games will compete at the mandatory outing during the AECs.  

Stephen Bradley and Brandenburg's Joshua
Phillip Dutton and Connaught
Holly Hudspeth and Last Monarch
Kim Severson and Tipperary Liadhnan
Allison Springer and Arthur
Buck Davidson and BallyNoe Castle RM
Buck Davidson and My Boy Bobby
Phillip Dutton and The Foreman
Phillip Dutton and TruLuck
Phillip Dutton and Woodburn
Will Faudree and Pawlow
Becky Holder and Courageous Comet
Boyd Martin and Neville Bardos
Boyd Martin and Remington XXV
Karen O'Connor and Mandiba
Amy Tryon and Leyland

Phillip now has a staggering 5 horses on the short list, and Buck and Phillip combined represent nearly half of the short list.  Barring an injury to either Buck or Phillip, I am convinced they will be riding at the WEGs.  Neither Titanium or Kheops are likely to play a factor in team selection due to their lack of experience--Kheops is the only horse on the list to have never competed in a CCI4*.  The only real note today is considering the horses that the USEF passed up on adding as the final two, such as perhaps Rock on Rose or a couple of other 3* horses.  Go eventing.

Thoughts on the 5 US short list additions

By John on July 12, 2010 7:17 PM, Filed Under
Stephen and Joshua, photo courtesy of the USEA

Here are a few quick thoughts about the 5 additions to the US eventing team's short list:  

1) Phillip Dutton and Connaught--The only surprise here is due to the fact that Phillip already has three horses on the list.  Connaught was the only horse that I predicted to make the original May short list who wasn't on that list.  The only question for Phillip is which horse to take to the WEGs?  From what I hear, Woodburn is looking super right now, and I think Woodburn is the horse right now.  Connaught sat out Rolex after consultation between his rider, owner, and the team and the only possible goal there was to save him for the WEGs.

2) Holly Hudspeth and Last Monarch--This horse deserved to be on the original list.  No doubt that "Stewie" needs to improve in the dressage, but he is young and has fresh legs and I expect him to be one of the soundest horses come late September.  Stewie finished 17th in his first 4* at Rolex this year.

3) Kim Severson and Tipperary Liadhnan--Again, not a huge surprise.  There are definitely still questions about the show jumping after the stop at Rolex and 3 rails at Bromont.  "Paddy" and Kim are one of the best XC pairs the US has right now, and there is still time for the show jumping to improve.
 
4) Allison Springer and Arthur--Allison and Arthur have proven that they can put themselves in prime position after the dressage.  Have they proven that will run clean and fast around a WEG cross-country course?  I'm not sure, but the potential upside was too much for the selectors to pass up.

5) Stephen Bradley and Brandenburg's Joshua--Wait, who?  Yep, that's right, Brandenburg's freakin' Joshua.  This name is probably a complete surprise to anyone who didn't read our Monday morning post--I was certainly surprised when the name came up in a couple of conversations this weekend.  This feels like the equivalent of a hail-Mary pass in football by the selectors--and I like it.  Joshua has completed one event in the last 15 months, which was an intermediate at Full Gallop earlier this spring.  That said, in three Rolex tries ('06, '08, and '09), Joshua places 3rd, 4th, and 10th respectively. Joshua never stops (once since '01), makes time when it counts, and has 8 show jumping penalties since 2003.  Almost everyone who knows what they are talking about likes Stephen and this horse on a sound day.  Let the vets work their magic, and if he's good to go in late September then the US selectors have found a diamond in the rough.

The French are coming to Kentucky en masse

By John on June 29, 2010 5:19 AM, Filed Under

France has released its World Equestrian Games A-list of 13 pairs, and its B-list of 23 pairs according to Equicomplet.fr.  The french blog suggests that Nicolas Touzaint is the only lock to make the French team, and says that the final French choices are to be made after the World Cup Haras du Pin in late August.  The B-list is available from Eqicomplet at the above link.  The original link is courtesy of Pegasus44.

LIST A name in alphabetical order (13 pairs - 12 riders) 
Anaud Boiteau - Expo du Moulin - 18
Jean Lou Bigot - Lotus Gobaude - 11 years
Lionel Guyon - Metisse Lalou - 10 years
Karim Laghouag - Havens CAZA - 15 
Pascal Leroy - Glenburny the Leou - 16
Pascal Leroy - Minos of Petra - 10 years
Cedric Lyard - Narcos Soulac - 9 years 
Benjamin Masse - Haston of Elpégère - 15 years 
Schauly Donatien - Secular - 10 years
Teulère John - Matelot du Grand Val - 10 years
Nicolas Touzaint - Tatchou - 12 years
Didier Willefert - Escape Lane - 18 
Stanislas Zuchowicz - Quirinal de la Bastide - 10 years 

The horses Escape Lane and Secular are both owned by the French Ministry of Defense, which suggests a defense investment policy that might explain France's military performance over the past 2000 years.  There are 87 days until the World Equestrian Games.  Go eventing.

Thoughts on the Canadian short list

By John on June 18, 2010 10:27 PM, Filed Under

(1) As several readers have already pointed out, there are no surprises with the Canadian short list.  All the Canadian riders who jumped around a CCI3* or CCI4* this spring with less than 20 penalties for the XC phase made the list.  

Hawley Bennett-Awad and Gin & Juice
Diana Burnett and Manny
Kyle Carter and Madison Park
Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master    
Michelle Mueller and Amistad
Selena O'Hanlon and Colombo
Jessica Phoenix and Exponential
Stephanie Rhodes Bosch and Port Authority         
Ian Roberts and Napalm                                                                          

(2) Canadians should be excited about the list.  It doesn't take an insider to see that there are a 9 quality pairs on the short list, and the Canadian selectors are really happy to have some tough decisions to make this year.  This is certainly shaping up to be the best team that Canada has sent to an international competition during my riding career, and perhaps some of our more experienced readers can speak to whether or not this is the best Canadian short list ever.

(3) Much of the credit for the development of such a quality team needs to be given to David, Dr. Ober, and farrier Randy Pawlak.  Dr. Ober and Randy have been working with David since well before he started coaching the Canadians, and the three of them make a fantastic team. Lots of credit is also due to the great folks at Equine Canada and Canadian Eventing for putting the right people in the right place and giving them the right powers.

(4) But, don't go popping your bottles of maple syrup in celebration of WEG gold just yet Canada.  The top four Canadians were 10th through 5th at Rolex, whereas the top four US short listed riders were placed 2nd through 7th, and that was with Leyland, My Boy Bobby, Ballynoecastle, and TruLuck sitting the weekend out.  On paper, I expect Canada to have anywhere from the 4th to 6th best team going into the WEGs.  But, we all know the World Equestrian Games are not competed on paper.

(5) All that being said, I'll go out on a limb right now and predict that Canada will medal at the WEGs.  The Canadian list is young, but it's mentally tough and the Canadians will be riding without the huge amounts of expectation or attention compared to Great Britain or the US.  A young confident team riding with everything to gain--that's a recipe for success.

(6) As a final note, like the US short list, the Canadian short list is short.  With only 9 names, there is not a ton of room for error in terms of pre-4* attrition.  Canada, like the US, can send up to 6 pairs to the WEGs for eventing.

Several commenters said the 6 Canadian WEG pairs were easy to predict, so I'm giving Eventing Nation a chance to do just that.  Pick your 6 pair Canadian WEG team:

Celebrate "100 Days to WEG" Day

By Leslie on June 15, 2010 9:17 PM, Filed Under

For 16 consecutive days beginning this September 25, horses and riders in eight disciplines from around the world will converge on the horse capital of the United States and compete for world titles.  Yes, we've all been counting down the days.

Literally.

This Thursday, June 17th, at the KHP and Fifth Third Pavilion downtown, Lexington is celebrating 100 Days until the WEG.

The day begins at 10am with a press conference at the KHP followed by a tasting of the "food of the games" and live music at Fifth Third Pavilion in downtown Lexington.  Also, fans who do not happen to live within reasonable driving distance to Lexington will be able to creepily spy on their friends at the festival via a live video feed on the Games' website.

I don't know what foods will be featured in the tasting, but as a wannabe-foodie, I'm hoping the Games will feature authentic food from various countries and cultures, instead of the typical American hot dogs and nachos....Oh but in case you haven't heard, Papa's going to be "in the house" in September.  

There's going to be a fashion show featuring All-Pro and Ariat.....this is funny to me only because unless it is relative to horses and equestrian equipment (i.e. matching leather and brass/silver buckles, navy vs. black coats and hats, cross-country colors, jog-up outfits), fashion is usually the last thing on the Eventer's mind.

Come on down and meet some animals from the Newport Aquarium.  No, not fish and sea turtles....alligators and penguins....what? 

These are just a few of the activities planned in Lexington to celebrate the coming of the Games.  Click here for the complete itinerary. 

But no matter where you are in the world on Thursday, you can still celebrate 100 days until the Games begin.  Get together with some horsey friends and compare favorite horse and rider teams.  Pull your carefully guarded tickets out of hiding and hold them just long enough to get giddy...then put them away for goodness sakes, before they wrinkle!

If you don't have tickets, get some!  

If you want to be a hero, volunteer!  General volunteers are still needed, and mandatory volunteer training sessions have begun!

If you want to be kept in the loop, subscribe to the Alltech FEI WEG electronic newsletter and keep reading Eventing Nation!

EN cause of the month: United States Para-Equestrian Association

By John on June 8, 2010 6:00 PM, Filed Under
paraheader450x150border.jpg

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve and grow eventing, Eventing Nation will be raising awareness for a horse related cause or charity each month.  The plan is to explain the issues facing equestrianism and educate our readers on how our cause of the month addresses those issues.   There are so many important challenges to our sport that need the strength and generosity of Eventing Nation.  

This month we will be supporting the United Stated Para-Equestrian Association, and we begin our support in partnership with the Horse Radio Network.  The good folks at the HRN have produced the first ever Para-Webathon, which is an online video fundraiser from 7-9pm ET tonight to raise money for our 10 United States Para-Athletes riding at the 2010 World Equestrian Games.  This will be the first WEGs to feature Para-Equestrian competition and, with your help, we can make it a very special World Equestrian Games indeed. 

All monies raised will be funneled through the United States Para Equestrian Association to offset the costs of the 10 United States Para-Equestrians and their horses attending the Games. Hosted by the Horse Radio Network at the Alltech studios in Kentucky. 

*Phone number to donate on June 8, 2010 (7pm-9PM Eastern) 888-334-2991  
*Send checks to USPEA, 3940 Verde Vista Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360

Sweden bids for 2018 WEGs

By John on June 7, 2010 7:39 PM, Filed Under
Earlier today Gothenburg, Sweden entered the running for the 2018 World Equestrian Games.  Goethenburg will be competing with Wellington, FL and whichever other cities enter their names for consideration over the next few months.  Like I said when Wellington announced its bid, the 2010 games will be the biggest equine airlift in history and I think the powers that be will want to keep the Games close to the majority of the competitors (Europe) for the next few WEGs.  Link: read more about Gothenburg's bid

If you don't know much about Sweden, here are some useless facts I either knew, found online, or completely made up.  Actually only one of them is completely made up--can you guess which one?

--Sweden is the 5th largest European country, in terms of land area, after Russia, Ukraine, France and Spain 
--Sweden has the highest number of McDonald restaurants, per capita, in Europe. 
--On an average, Swedish women have their first child at 30 years. 
--Swiss Army knives are red so they can be seen in the snow.
--The first ice hotel of the world was built near the village of Jukkasjärvi, in Kiruna district of Sweden 
--The income inequality in Sweden was found to be the second lowest in Europe, in 2006, next only to Denmark. 
--Charlie Chaplin died in Sweden
--As of 2004 you can pay your Swedish taxes by sending an SMS message from your cell phone. 
--The sun rises at 3.30am in the summer 
--American textbooks are cheaper in Sweden than in the U.S. 
--On Easter children dress up as witches and go trick-or-treating. 
--The Nobel Prizes were founded by Alfred Nobel, a Swede who invented dynamite in 1866. 
--A popular souvenir in Sweden is the road sign for moose-crossing. 
--Surprisingly, a large number of these signs are stolen from Swedish roads every year.
--Europe's largest shopping mall is the Nordstan in Gothenburg, with approximately 180 shops and 150 offices 
--As of 2006, Sweden was the most generous country in the world regarding aid to poor countries. It is the only nation where donations exceed 1% of the GDP. 
--All non-military property that is not fenced in, or is not a farm or someone's personal garden is open to anyone for hiking through or camping for one night.


Finally, as if we don't have enough absurd videos on Eventing Nation right now, check out the latest two sports nominated to become WEG events:

1. vaulting+showjumping=ouch   (apologies for the bad audio)


2. not really equestrian but close enough

WEG Tickets - Get Yours!

By Leslie on May 19, 2010 11:45 AM, Filed Under
Official WEG poster
Artist: Leroy Neimen
poster.jpgIf you're still sitting on the fence about forking out the cash to attend the WEG this September, I'd start making my decisions quick, because tickets may be sold out soon.

Yesterday I received a WEG e-newsletter stating tickets to all eight disciplines are going fast, and some sessions, particularly final rounds, are approaching sell-out.

The Dressage Individual Freestyle and the Reining Individual Finals could be the first to reach full capacity.  Less than 1,000 Level A tickets are available for the Dressage Freestyle on October 1 in the outdoor stadium.  Only 400 tickets remain for the Reining Individual Finals on September 30 at the indoor arena. 

Finals rounds are in highest demand across all sports.  Eventing and Driving finals are already 75 percent sold, and only a third of the seats for the Jumping Top Four remain.   Just over 100 tickets remain in the Finals Round for Para Dressage, and both the Freestyle and Team Finals in Vaulting are more than halfway sold. 

Don't wait too long to choose your strategy.  If you can't swing a ticket to the finals or early rounds but you would still like to do some shopping and explore the historical venue, Grounds Passes  are on sale at the promotional price of $20 until May 31.

At first I was uncertain about attending the WEG, but after much pondering and budgeting I found a way to justify it to myself: this is the first time in 20 years the WEG have left Europe, and they just so happen to have settled in the US.  Who knows the next time so many of us will have this awesome opportunity to watch the top horses and riders in 8 disciplines from around the world competing for the World Champion title.

Plus, I didn't want to miss out and then have to hear all my friends talk about what a great time they had.  So I may be eating Ramen noodles and junior bacon cheeseburgers for a while, but it's going to be totally worth it.  

See you at the Games!

Thoughts on the short list

By John on May 17, 2010 12:20 PM, Filed Under

On Friday, the USEF released  partial short list for the WEGs, narrowing the list of potential horses to 11 names along with several that might be named after Luhmuhlen.

Buck Davidson and BallyNoe Castle RM (11th Burghley 09, 15th Rolex 09)
Buck Davidson and My Boy Bobby (3rd Rolex 09)
Phillip Dutton and The Foreman (2nd Rolex 05, 2nd Burghley 05, 6th Rolex 10)
Phillip Dutton and TruLuck (4th Burghley 09, 9th Rolex 07)
Phillip Dutton and Woodburn (12th Rolex 09, 9th Rolex 08, 2nd Rolex 10)
Will Faudree and Pawlow (15th Rolex 10)
Becky Holder and Courageous Comet (since '07 - 2nd Rolex 08, 42nd Olympics 08, R Burghley 09, 3rd Rolex 10)
Boyd Martin and Neville Bardos (9th Rolex 08, 4th Rolex 10)
Boyd Martin and Remington XXV (12th Rolex 10)
Karen O'Connor and Mandiba (E Burghley, 44th Olympics, 7th Rolex 10)
Amy Tryon and Leyland (13th Rolex 09, 14th Burghley 09)

(1) If you have been reading Eventing Nation, there were no surprises with short list.  After Rolex, I wrote that 13 horses had separated from the pack: Woodburn, The Foreman, TruLuck, Neville, Remington, Comet, Mandiba, Pawlow, Leyland, Bobby, Ballynoecastle, Twizzel, and Connaught.  11 of those horses made the short list, and Twizzel will be on the list with a good performance at Luhmuhlen.  Phillip's blog explained that Connaught was scratched from Jersey because he wasn't quite right.

(2) The short list is very short.  There are 11 horses but just 7 riders are on the list and the US will send 6 riders to the WEGs (4 team, 2 individual).  This means that we already have a pretty clear picture of what the team will look like.  It also means that the second and even third most impressive pair at Luhmuhlen has a legitimate shot to go to the WEGs, depending on how things shake out.

(3) The most important thing moving forward for short listed pairs is keeping the horse healthy.  There's a mentality among riders that the last sound horses standing are going to Kentucky, and that's always the reality before major international competitions.  From this point forward, more than anything, soundness will pick the team that represents the USA at the World Equestrian Games.

(4) Let's just get this out in the open--Buck and Phillip are virtual locks to make the team.  If we could send riders on multiple horses, we'd probably send Buck and Phillip on all 5 of their horses on the list.  

(5) The team suggested how much they want Boyd by short listing Remington as well as Neville.

(6) If you put a gun to my head right now and forced me to pick six names, I'd go with BallyNoe Castle, Woodburn, Neville, Mandiba, Leyland, and Twizzel.  We will have much more with the list later this week.  Go eventing.
