Team Canada is officially on the move, and Team USA had their final rides on the home front before shipping out tomorrow, so the trip has officially begun! Normandy here we come! Luckily for us, all the riders are just as excited as we are (if not more so!), and they are keeping us up to date with photos and tweets galore, and I’m here to collect them. Let’s check out what everybody is up to!

Can you even imagine the packing efforts it requires to send that many horses and riders overseas? How many trunks? How many blankets, wraps, boots, sheets, saddle pads, oh my goodness!

Fun fact: Sarah Braun asked Hawley for a photo op four years ago at the Kentucky WEG, and now she’s heading with Ginny to Normandy as the head groom! A cool story for sure.

Seems like Team Canada has enough of their own packing to do!

An inside glimpse into the famous USET Headquarters is something that not a lot of us get a chance to enjoy, but Hannah Sue has been excellent at showing us what it looks like, and it is very neat, to say the least!

The packing is officially done! What a relief, hope they didn’t forget anything!
