This latest team announcement is the last of the three equestrian teams headed for the Summer Games, with the dressage team named earlier this week on Monday and the eventing team named last week on June 20.
The dressage team includes Allison Brock, Laura Graves, Kasey Perry-Glass and Steffen Peters; the eventing team includes Phillip Dutton, Lauren Kieffer, Boyd Martin and Clark Montgomery.
We’ll be following all equestrian events at the Rio Olympics this summer, but for in-depth coverage of show jumping, please visit our sister site Jumper Nation, and of course you can find in-depth coverage of eventing right here. EN’s own Jenni Autry will be on-site to cover the eventing portion of the Olympics at Deodoro Olympic Equestrian Center in Rio de Janeiro.
Go Team USA!
