The horse who just barely made it to the airport in time to catch the plane across the pond, Remington, has taken his sweet revenge by totally kicking butt in the dressage phase at Barbury yesterday. [Boyd’s Blog] Well done to Boyd and Remi, as well as the rest of the American competitors, I know the tension in the air over there must be palpable. As a quick overview, here’s how we sit going into show jumping tomorrow (cross country will be held in reverse order of standing on Sunday): [Full CIC*** Results]

In other news, Will Coleman is looking for ways to take full advantage of his time in England, and hopes to be able to include some of his rising superstars in the action. Even though Twizzel is the star of the summer, Will is offering an opportunity to get involved as an event horse owner with two of his upcoming athletes, OBOS O’Reilly and Vancouver, in an effort to get them some international experience at the Blenheim CIC*** and CCI***, with longterm goals including the 2014 World Equestrian Games and the 2016 Olympics. Got the Olympic Eventing bug? This could be your way in! [Four Star Eventing Group Syndicate Proposal]
