Last week we mentioned that the USEF would be giving several grants to compete at the Pau CCI4*. Today I received the following text from our very own Coren Morgan: “Boyd Lainey and Phillip.” Coren is stuck in class all day but apparently she spent the morning figuring out the Pau grant winners rather than paying attention to her teacher. After a bit of research, I confirmed the horses:
Boyd and RemingtonPhillip and TruLuckLaine and Anthony Patch
Remington and TruLuck are obvious choices since they just barely missed out on competing at the WEGs. Lainey and “AI” finished 14th at Rolex this spring and will gain some valuable international experience from the trip. Pau is November 4th to 7th. This is the current list and the horses will be bubble wrapped until their departure in late October. You can read about Lainey’s final preparation plans at her blog.
Between Blenheim, Boekelo, and Pau, the USEF will have sent 10 US horses overseas for three-days in Europe over the past two months. It will be fascinating to see how the investment of this grant money pays off over the next several years. Go eventing.
