That would make sense. Great guy and always looking out for what is best for the horse (and rider).[/QUOTE]
She rides with him, and her family owns a number of his horses.
Also, I guess Flexible goes as well outside as he does indoors… 
I like McLain, Reed and BZ. Via had an early rail but then jumped out of her skin. McLain’s horse needs to ride better. I have no doubt he can get that done. BY London. BZ and McLain have the necessary experience. That leaves Rich Fellers to round out the Team and take your pick for the alternate. Of course all that depends on the jog.

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.[/QUOTE]
No, different Catwalk. She was ridden by Darren Dlin, who retired her a year or two ago.

No, different horse! Robert’s is a stallion and Darrin Dlin rode (and still does, I think?) the Catwalk whose bridle fell off.

I didn’t know that! Certainly explains a lot, haha.
This is the Catwalk of Parelli fame.
Terrible shame for McLain.

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.[/QUOTE]
I also was surprised she couldn’t feel it, but with the excitement and jigging of a hotter horse in that ring it makes sense she might not be able to.
do you think they will still consider Chill RZ? I would like him as alternate.
Chill R Z did not do the Trials and as far as I know, was not granted a bye…
Chill R Z was 35th on the Long-List. According to COTH, George told Charlie to keep trying to jump clear rounds…http://www.chronofhorse.com/article/usef-names-olympic-show-jumping-long-list

According to what Charlie indicated he is doing the Observation events and is trying for the team. I got the impression that the horse wasn’t able to do the trails so they’re letting him do 3 observation events. I might’ve misunderstood what he said but I can swear that he did say he’s trying for the team.
Amazing and gutsy jumpoff Rich Fellers!
Holy Cow!!! Put that man on the team!!!

:yes::yes::yes::yes:
Whoa Rich! I was wondering if anyone would go that way instead. He makes me a little nervous-he’s so catty and somehow manages to slither right over every time I think he’s going to have a rail.

Wow! That was a fast jump off! If he’s not put on the team there’s something wrong with the selectors. They won every single observation class they did! What an amazing team!
Rich Fellers, his wife Shelley, and their two kids are the most deserving and outstanding family out there! I had the pleasure of meeting them, and enjoying dinner with them while touring the west coast with GM…they are just extremely phenomenal people and incredible horsepeople!
What a jump off it was too!

Didn’t do the trials because of an injury or cut, but they placed him at the very bottom of the long list. I would LOVE to see Charlie Jayne and Chill R Z as alternates in London.
Wow, I’m impressed!! Amazing what a decade of riding a horse can achieve. And Reed is spectacular!! Hope everyone jogs up sound and has jumps left for London. I like Kent and Uceko too.
Who is Rich riding for the victory gallop? That’s not Flexible. Looks like Mika???
