Team Brazil loves the heat
The weather in Kentucky has been breaking heat records this week, and Friday’s predicted high is 91 degrees. From what I hear, most of the teams are spending most of their afternoons enjoying American TV in their air conditioned hotel rooms. The heat is expected to break this weekend with a high of 80 on Saturday, and, after a rainy early week, next weekend is predicted to be sunny with highs in the 60’s and 70’s.
The Canadian event horses will arrive in Lexington today, as will most of the international event horses who are not already at the Horse Park. The US riders will check in at the WEGs today, and the US horses will arrive on Saturday.
The eventing teams will submit their final squad entries (6 horses) to the FEI on Saturday. Some folks have emailed us wondering where they can find a final WEG entry list, but the fact is that the FEI doesn’t have all of the final entries yet. The team/individual competitors will be officially named after the jog on Wednesday.
Now there’s only one thing left to figure out: which team’s stall decorations are the coolest?
