The USEF has released their winter training lists this afternoon. 4 pairs have been named to the A list and 19 pairs have been named to the B list. There are definitely some interesting inclusions and omissions, so let’s jump right in:
A List:
Phillip Dutton and Mighty Nice
Sinead Halpin and Manoir de Carnville
Boyd Martin and Neville Bardos
Boyd Martin and Otis Barbotiere
B List:
Hannah Sue Burnett and Harbour Pilot
Jan Byyny and Inmidair
Will Coleman and Twizzel
Tiana Coudray and Ringwood Magister
Buck Davidson and Absolute Liberty
Buck Davidson and Ballynoe Castle RM
Buck Davidson and The Apprentice
Phillip Dutton and William Penn
Phillip Dutton and Ben
Will Faudree and Pawlow
Will Faudree and Fernhill Gloster Rebel
Becky Holder and Can’t Fire Me
Shannon Lilley and Ballingowan Pizazz
Marilyn Little-Meredith and RF Rovano Rex
Boyd Martin and Ying Yang Yo
Clark Montgomery and Loughan Glen
Karen O’Connor and Mr. Medicott
Julian Stiller and Chapel Amble
Jolie Wentworth and Good Knight
The two new horses needing special note are of course Mr. Medicott and Fernhill Gloster Rebel. We reported on Thursday that the sale of Mr. Medicott was nearly final. The USEF press release lists “The O’Connor Equestrian Syndicate” as owning Mr. Medicott and it’s fair to say that if the USEF was willing to send out a release naming Mr. Medicott to the B List that the deal is certain if not already 100% done.
Fernhill Gloster Rebel is a 10 year old gelding that Jennifer Mosing has purchased from Carol Gee for Will Faudree. The horse was previously ridden by Duarte Seabra of Portugal. He competed at the 2010 WEGs, withdrawing before the show jumping, and finished 51st at Badminton this year. The horse arrived in the US on the 9th. I spoke with Will late last week about the purchase and we’ll have much more on this nice new horse soon.
