It’s been a wild weekend at Aachen. After coming into the cross country just 8.8 penalty points out of second place in the Nations Cup standings, things quickly fell apart on course for Team USA. Will Faudree described the CICO3* course as a four-star track packed into seven minutes, and it ultimately left no room for error. With Tiana Coudray and Ringwood Magister producing the only clear trip for Team USA — and just two of our four team members completing the course — it’s a bit of a somber day in the Team USA camp. Thankfully, we’re just going home with wounded pride, and all horses and riders are OK after a very rough day. Kick on, Team USA.
