As a sad note for the US Boekelo team, Julian Stiller has withdrawn her horse Charlie Weld from Boekelo. I spoke briefly with Jules who told me that her horse wasn’t quite right after his last gallop today and she wisely didn’t want to risk running him if he wasn’t 100%. Jules bought Charlie Weld from Kai Ruder earlier this year and Charlie Weld is one of the best up and coming event horses in all of Europe. The US is left with a three pair team now–Michael Pollard on DV8, Tamra on Mar De Amor, and Boyd on either Remington or Otis Barbotiere. Boyd is riding both horses at Boekelo, but the decision will be made later this week which one will compete for the team. Go eventing.
