Hannah Sue's mount Harbour Pilot takes a look around in France
The US Team horses and riders have officially arrived in Saumur, France as of today. As the first overseas trip for the Team in 2013, Saumur CCI*** is incredibly important. Along with that, course designer Pierre Michelet will also be designing the World Equestrian Games course, and he has a unique, bold style that US riders need to get familiar with before the WEGs.
The four riders competing this week are:
Hannah Sue Burnett and Harbour Pilot, owned by Jacqueline Mars
Buck Davidson and The Apprentice, owned by Sherrie Martin
Will Faudree and Andromaque, owned by on Jennifer Mosing
Marilyn Little and RF Smoke on the Water, owned by Raylyn Farms Inc. and Phoebe and Michael Mander
As a quick taste of how everything looks over there, and how the US riders are passing their time with only one horse a day, I’ve gathered a quick social media collection of photos from both the USEF High Performance page, as well as some from riders themselves. Enjoy!
