Will Coleman and Twizzel have been removed from the Luhmuhlen entries list, leaving Jennifer Wooten and The Good Witch, Allison and Arthur, and Michael Pollard and Wonderful Will as the three US pairs scheduled to go to Germany. Will’s Luhmuhlen plans ended over 10 days ago, but I wanted to wait until it became official on the Luhmuhlen entries list.
Injuries to horses right before big events are the hardest thing to deal with in eventing. Fortunately for Will, he is an amazing rider and has a quality string of horses so he won’t miss a beat in the long run. In the short term however, it is awful news for the US Team. Will and Twizzel have been having a great spring and I felt they were a lock to make the WEG team with a good performance in Germany. Will is going to be back, no doubt about that, but the question for now is which of the 7 riders on the short list are going to make the team, and who will step up at Luhmuhlen to make the team?
