Eight North American US pairs will compete at the Blenheim CCI3* in Woodstock, England this coming weekend. They are:
Phillip Dutton and Mighty Nice
Clark Montgomery and Loughan Glen
Will Faudree and Pawlow
Aimee Chambers and After Eight
Julian Stiller and Enjoy Me
Tiana Coudray and Ringwood Magister
Kyle Carter and Madison Park (CAN)
Kathryn Robinson and Let It Bee (CAN)
Phillip, Clark, and Will all received $15,000 Land Rover competition grants to compete at Blenheim. The promising Mighty Nice will be competing in his first CCI3*, Pawlow is of course an experienced 4* horse who was 11th at Blenheim in 2009, and Loughan Glen won the Bromont CCI3* earlier this summer. Aimee Chambers and Julian Stiller are US natives permanently based in England. Tiana Coudray has been riding and competing in England since Luhmuhlen. Kyle Carter and Madison Park rerouted to Blenheim after a fall early on the Burghley course last weekend. Kathryn Robinson of Canada finished 28th at the Hopetoun International 3* in July.

One of the big story lines of the weekend is the duel between Japan and Australia for the one remaining Olympic team qualifier for their region. The CCI3* dressage begins on Thursday and we will have Blenheim coverage throughout the weekend courtesy of ESJ.
Go Blenheim.
