Well, we are finally underway at one of the greatest four star events in the world, Burghely. All of the US horses trotted up 

without any nervous moments this afternoon. I am very happy to say that all of the Americans are gathering together in a group getting behind each other. It's a real team feeling within the group.

We walked the course together, and after fence 4, we all started getting very quiet. The jokes and small talk stopped as we started checking out the fences that we are taking on on Saturday.

Will, Mike and I are lucky enough to be here with the assistance of the Land Rover Grants. Land Rover has really got behind the American team, and are an awesome backer to assist us in an enormous shipping and traveling bill. After the trot up we did some photos with a couple of very nice Land Rovers  in which we have been given to cruise around in this weekend.

Nev went well in a lesson with Bettina Hoy  this afternoon. Are dressage is at 3:15 tomorrow, so let's see if all the hard work has paid off.....
