Teams for the Paris Olympics

Yes the 26th.

They only print four issues a year now, but they put content out online as well.

I still remember how I would read it cover to cover every month when I was a kid, and go back to read some of the articles multiple times.

I can’t believe Banzai is still only 13!

Interesting that both Banzai and Dublin were selected over Cooley Rosalent and Oliver Townend who finished ahead of both in the KY 5*.

I think Kitty King is probably feeling that burn more than Oliver

Still no Canada!

Australia
I am curious about the delay
and who besides Chris Burton will get chosen
and whether all Shane Rose’s hard work in recovery will help him make the team

And New Zealand!

I’ve been wondering about that as well.

In Mark Phillips latest Horse and Hound opinion column, he says that the 'window for appeal" for Paris closes next weekend
sounds like he is referring to the same weekend as Aachen.
It seems possible that more than one country is dealing with an “appeal” as a reason for delays.

They’re probably too scared for another legal suit lol.

there is probably behind the scenes (as far as those of us not in the know go) an appeal or two by Canadians.

at least 5 riders who have an arguable case for being selected.

We have an unfortunate history of some social media ranting by riders (or their spouse) who were not selected
