Well that was fast. The Canadians selectors have officially picked the six members of the WEG eventing team. The selectors named the six members, but the specifics of who will ride in the team competition and who will ride as individuals will be specified once the team is in Kentucky.
The team (in no particular order):
Selena O’Hanlon and Colombo
Steph Rhodes-Bosch and Port Authority
Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master
Kyle Carter and Madison Park
Jessica Phoenix and Exponential
Hawley Bennet-Awad and Gin & Juice
Alternates (no particular order):
Diana Burnett and Manny
Ian Roberts and Napalm
All 6 team members and both alternates are already on their way down to Ocala, Florida to train for these last few days before the WEGs. Canada’s selections match Eventing Nation’s group picks from this morning and I completely agree with the selections. This team is young, hungry, and very talented. Except for Kyle, of course, who is an old man and well fed, but I would have put him on the team nonetheless because his horse is a freak of nature. Go Canada.
