On Thursday, 37 horses were presented before the CRI Ground Jury at the Horse Inspection with two not being accepted.
This weekend will host three members of the United States’ Gold medal winning team from the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games as they head back to the scene of their success in Lexington. Team and Individual Gold medalist, Tom McCutcheon (Aubrey, Texas) will ride Jennifer Marley’s Dun Git a Nicadaul and Turnabout Farm’s Dun Got My Rest. 2010’s Individual Silver medalist Craig Schmersal (Overbrook, Okla.), is vying for top honors and selection with Karl Robert’s What A Wave. Former National Champion Shawn Flarida (Springfield, Ohio) joins his teammates from four years ago and will be riding Michell Kimball’s Spooks Gotta Whiz.
Mandy McCutcheon (Aubrey, Texas) will be busy this weekend as she has two shots to claim top honors. She will look to do so on her father Tim McQuay’s Yellow Jersey, as well as Robert Webb’s Spin N Wimp.
"I'm very excited to be here and am just trying to keep my expectations for the weekend in check,"
Said McCutcheon, who would welcome the opportunity to compete for the U.S. in Normandy. "It would be a dream- I try not to even think about it because it would be so amazing. "
