Andrew Nicholson is his own reserve rider, with either Mr. Cruise Control, Armada, or Averbury. All the quotes from the New Zealand team suggests they are looking at the 2010 WEGs as a building block to do well at the London Olympics. This is an interesting strategy and perhaps is an attempt to take the pressure off of the first time team riders. Joe Meyer looked good to make the team as of a few months ago but recent injuries to his top two horses prevented this. Andrew Nicholson has a solid chance at an individual medal. Are you as excited as I am that Mark Todd will be returning to Lexington for yet another trip around the Kentucky Horse Park?
