No Iād say Ros Canter, Laura Collett, then third place is up for grabs between Tom, Yas, Oliver. Youāre only allowed 3 on a team.So what are people thinking for the Olympic teams?
I am assuming eventing will be the 3 from Kentucky plus Laura C.
Dressage- same as last timeLottie, Carl, Charlotte and Gareth?
Show jumping- I donāt follow enough to have a clue, a Whitaker?

RTG is a special guest at my local tack shop this weekend
Came here to tag you!
The team will likely be Carl with Fame, Charlotte with Imhotep or possibly the mare, and Lotty Fry with Glamourdale but strangely he hasn't been competed in ages... so maybe Everdale (who I don't like, just as his son Imhotep...)Dressage- same as last time
Gareth has not competed this year and Briolinca hasn't been out for even longer, I don't think he has any intention (or chance) to be the traveling reserve.
Lewis does not have the international results needed
The traveling reserve spot (which is realistically all that is still available) will likely go to Becky Moody with Jagerbomb or Annabella Pidgley with Gio, quite possibly depending on what happens this weekend at the Nations Cup in Compiegne. There is a reason why Annabella decided not to defend her European YR title with Espe this year...
In other news, who else absolutely loved Alanna's vlog about her first ever ODE as a dressage rider on her mum's Jensen? What a fun vlog!

I think annabella Has shown she can compete internationally at European level, what did she do juniors? Young riders? But I donāt think her and Gio are quite there yet as a partnership. Becky has been out and consistent for a while now with Jaegerbomb. Out of those Iād go for Becky.
Alanaās vlog was good, sheās funny and was clearly quite nervous. What I like about her is that if something is wrong itās something she has to work on and if something goes right the horse was always such a good boy or such a good girl. She came across as really delighted in the end, Iād like to see more eventing stuff from her but as someone else mentioned I enjoy her dressage stuff and the run through of the marks and comments in her tests. I hope she keeps that up.
She will get picked, statistically she is the best GB rider there is at the moment. She can be the Oli Townsend of the dressage team

I just looked at the FEI dressage rankings:
Lottie is 3rd, CDJ is 5th, Becky 19th. But I canāt find Carl in the top 200?!

Enjoyed Holly's first vlog of her France/Belgium trip, lots of laughs, but seriously....the first 5 mins of what was packed into that 3.5t van, together with 2 sizeable horses and 2 people. There is no way that is within payload. Insane.
Take one for the team and pay her a visit. See what sheās really like

It will be interesting to see what happens at badminton. The Kentucky 3 have cemented their places on the list.
Yep just like Meg has previouslyā¦ they all do it
Just came on here to comment on Katieās round with Panda. I wasnāt over impressed with her riding at all? I actually feel Harlow rides him better. Hard to comment when I donāt no what heās like to ride but coming into the fences I felt Katie was sitting so far forward.
I will say though Harlow is an amazing little show rider. She looks fabulous on the bay show pony.
Speaking of olympics, what about the Australian eventer - Shane Rose? Recently had a nasty rotational fall. Severe concussion so can't remember what happened but broken bones everywhere š«£ but he still intends to compete at Paris.
What a go-getter! I really hope his body heals up fast and well and he can do his country proud.

Was he the same one that got in trouble for the mankini?
Does anyone know what camera Meg uses for her āslow motionā footage?
Yes, thatās him.
Top bloke, I hope he is recovering well.
Oooh yes! An all girls team?!
I know the selectors love Laura and London 52, but he hasnāt competed at 5* this year and there donāt seem to be any plans for him to? I know the Olympics is not a 5* track but itāll be interesting to see if they are still selected based on last yearās results? Donāt get me wrong I think theyāre an amazing combination but will just be interesting to see how the selectors pick.Take one for the team and pay her a visit. See what sheās really like

I wonder if there will be any Badminton success last minute call ups too! Such incredible eventing talent for Team GB!
he has been competing and winning at 4* so I think they will be going off those and his previous 5* results. I think Tom Mcewen is aiming his previous Olympic ride, Toledo, for the Olympics too, not Dublin who he took to Kentucky.
Someone said further up they where going down the 4* route to qualify. But the sectors could send enough teams to claim all medals.
