The Luhmuhlen CCI4* (June 14th to 17th) entry list has been released and, as expected, it features some prominent North American pairs:
Boyd Martin and Remington (USA)
Boyd Martin and Ying Yang Yo (USA)
Colleen Rutledge and Shiraz (USA)
Peter Atkins and Henny (AUS)

All of these North American entries are as expected. Henny rerouted to Luhmuhlen after Peter broke his leg, Colleen of course changed course for Germany after Badminton was rained out, and Boyd decided to target Ying Yang Yo at Luhmuhlen after the horse’s eye didn’t quite heal from an injury sustained trailering to The Fork in time for Rolex. Germany’s top event has seen a surge of top entries after the cancellation of Badminton. Most of the top Olympic prospect horses will be taking lighter routes to London, but Luhmuhlen still boasts a great field. Heather Reimer has also told us that Hinrich Romeike’s gold medal horse Marius Voigt-Logistic will be officially retired between the two XC tests.
Three British based US pairs are competing this coming weekend at one of three remaining US Olympic selection trials–the Saumur CCI3* in France. Saumur was added as a selection trial to give the USA’s British based riders another chance to prove themselves to the selectors. Saumur is also an important selectiont trials for a variety of other nations. Riding for the red, white, and blue:
Jules Stiller and Chapel Amble (USA)
Jules Stiller and Enjoy Me (USA)
Tiana Coudray and Ringwood Magister (USA)
