The lion, the magical deer, and the…wave?
By methods slightly more complicated and dangerous than the operation undertaken by the fine members of US Special Operations to kill Osama bin Laden, Eventing Nation has obtained super secret USEF documents detailing the Pan American Games applicants. Well, either that or we just went to the USEF website, where the applicant list is publicly available. As of today, there are 47 applicants and the entries are open until July 1st.
As I have written before, I’d like to see the USEF send one veteran rider such as Boyd or Kim and then fill out the team with promising younger riders to give them some international experience. There are certainly a ton of great names on the list already and I don’t envy the selectors:
