Samantha Clark caught up with New Zealand's Monica Spencer for a chat at Stable View, Aiken about life in the USA, preparations for possible team selection for Paris 2024 (plus back up plans!) and the fun of US/Kiwi communication!
Winner, winner! Congratulations to Mike Jackson and Girls Gamble, CCI3* winners at Alnwick Ford International Horse Trials, putting them in the running for the Northumberland Challenge £15,000 bonus. No doubt they'll be back at Burgham International Horse Trials in July ....
US Eventing Team Chef d’Equipe Bobby Costello Interview
The US Olympic Eventing Team for Paris 2024 had their final mandatory run in conjunction with Stable View’s Summer Horse Trials (21st – 23rd June). Although incorporated into the Advanced Division, it didn’t really feel like a competition and the mood was definitely one of anticipation and preparation, rather than celebration.
Samantha Clark talked to the team riders (more from them coming soon) about how they are feeling one month before the Olympic Games at Versailles and also chatted with US Eventing Chef d’Equipe Bobby Costello about what happens now and plans for the next few weeks.
