I do miss Hickstead…
Anyone else in love with Uceko? Such a sucker for a nice grey. If only they stayed that color forever.
And another fantastic ride by Reed!
And another clear for Reed!
Reed does it again!!!
And DNB, I’m slightly obsessed with Uceko, he is so nice!
That girl should be on the team!!!
If Reed doesn’t make the team I don’t know what to say! She is absolutely amazing!
Is there really any justification to NOT put Reed on the team at this point? Reed goes clean, only person in the whole field with two horses in the jump-off.

It doesn’t matter how old she is… I think Reed Kessler just made the Olympic team!!!
An unfortunate rail for McLain, but Andy looked like he was sailing over everything so easily.
How many are named to the team?
I really wish that rail hadn’t come down for McLain
If Reed’s horse(s) are good in the jog there’s no denying her a spot.
They are only naming a short-list after today. We can nominate 12 entries for the Olympic team by tomorrow, but the actual team does not have to be entered until July 6th. I believe I read that they will take the short-list to Europe? I agree that Reed has more than proven herself, as has Rich, and I would be disappointed in the selection committee if they were left off, but I don’t think they’re going to name the team tomorrow–probably a short-list in order of preference. But this is show jumping, and anything can happen before August.
Also, I think it was Eric who shouted at Caitlin to pull-up. I was also disappointed that she couldn’t feel that herself, and that she continued to trot out of the ring. The horse was visibly off cantering and trotting.
Kessler - Kessler - Kessler
London !!! No Doubt
Anyone know if Robert Whitaker’s horse Catwalk is the same horse who did that amazing jumping at WEF a few years ago when the bridle broke? That mare was ridden by a Canadian then.

That would make sense. Great guy and always looking out for what is best for the horse (and rider).
Rich and Flexible know each other so well. So much fun to watch! You truly get that show jumping is athletic when you watch Rich on that horse.
Flexible was hot wasn’t he?
To add to Reed’s awards, she won a 1.50 meter class yesterday. Second was Beezie and 3rd was McLain.
The girl is just unreal!!!
