Tuesday Video from SpectraVET: Australian Eventing Team Olympic Staging Camp

Australia’s Olympic Eventing Team is hunkered down in the English countryside this week, making their final preparations for Rio.

The team of Chris Burton and Santano II, Sam Griffiths and Paulank Brockagh, Shane Rose and CP Qualified, and Stuart Tinney and Pluto Mio along with team reserves, have “gone to camp” at Stow on the World in Gloucestershire. It’s a familiar venue for members of Equestrian Australia’s high-performance program, as about half of Australia’s elite level eventing riders are situated in the UK and the facility has been used by the team in the past.

“It’s a little bit home away from home for everyone,” Equestrian Australia National Performance Director Prue Barrett explains. “As much as we want to bring everyone out of their home environment and into a group it’s important to bring them into an environment where they are really happy and the horses are really happy.”

In this video Prue shares a glimpse of the camp and the athletes in the final days before they ship out for Rio on July 29.

“There’s nothing that brings a group together better than having a shared goal as everyone is here very talking about it, everyone is on the same page,” she says.
