A lot of the horses are already in Europe at various training camps, so they will get over any jet lag well ahead of time.

Can’t speak for other disciplines but the eventers are at the same farm they utilized before Pratoni. They shipped over last week.

McLain Ward just won the Prix Paris with First Lady so I’m guessing the American showjumpers are already there. I think they and the dressage riders have been in Europe competing for a while.

Either there is a translation error or a typo in the second screenshot above.
The correct information is that Sandra Auffahrt is being replaced by Julia Krajewski/Nickel, as Viamant de Matz is not 100% fit. Calvin Böckmann on Phantom of the opera will be the reserve.

I am a little disturbed that both Germany and Great Britian have the Olympic gold winner and the World Champion gold winner as back ups. Their teams being so strong they think they have better rides before them. I am very pleased that Julia has now made it to the team. So she is again on equal footing with Chipmunk. Fingers crossed for our team!

I’m excited for Will to ride Diabolo instead of Off the Record - he has the potential to put in a much more competitive test, and although he is still relatively inexperienced, Will’s vast experience will hopefully get the job done.

what do you think might be the reason for the switch?

Hard to say, Timmy is older but doesn’t have any well known soundness issues. The decision could have been left up to Will as to how each horse has been feeling leading up to Paris. They are both really super horses and it’s my gut feeling that Dab only continues to get better as his partnership with Will develops. Hopefully I’m not jinxing anything but I think it’s a good thing!
I love both the horses, happy with either! I’m sure Will knows what’s best for them both.
