As an update to our predictions from this morning, we have heard whispers this afternoon that the USEF selectors were heavily interested in Tiana Coudray and Ringwood Magister to add to the group of US based pairs on the short list. The British based Tiana and “Finn” finished 13th at the Saumur CCI3* in May despite picking up 20 penalties on the cross-country. Gun to my head right now, if you asked me who the USEF Executive Committe is debating for the short list: Mystery Whisper, Mighty Nice, Neville Bardos, Otis Barbotiere, Manoir De Carneville, Mr. Medicott, Twizzel, Loughan Glen, Ringwood Magister, Arthur, and RF Rovano Rex (11 pairs). But, that is still very much a prediction under “ridiculous commentary” and not any official announcement. Stay tuned for the official word soon. Go eventing.
