dcro 10,179 Posted July 9, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Irish eventing team has been named... No Jonty Evans for obvious reasons. Team: Tipperary’s Padraig McCarthy with Mr Chunky, owned by Christopher and Sarita Perkins, Huw Lloyd and Lucy Wiegersma Kildare’s Aoife Clark with Fernhill Adventure (ISH), owned by Richard Last and Aoife Clark Galway’s Cathal Daniels with Rioghan Rua (ISH), owned by Margaret Kinsella Meath’s Sarah Ennis with Horseware Stellor Rebound (ISH), owned by Horseware Products Ltd, Niki Potterton and Orla Ennis Carlow’s Sam Watson and Horseware Ardagh Highlight (ISH), owned by Belinda Keir Five reserves have also been named in the following order: 1st Tim Bourke with Luckaun Quality (ISH) 2nd Patricia Ryan with Dunrath Eclipse (ISH) 3rd Joseph Murphy with Sportsfield Othello (ISH) 4th Ciaran Glynn with November Night (ISH) (TIH) 5th Clare Abbott with Euro Prince (ISH) Really, Tim Bourke & Luckaun Quality only the reserves? That's a hardcore Irish eventing combination that very much excels in cross-country. They are much more reliable than Clark & Fernhill Adventure and Ennis & Stellor Rebound... All but one listed horses are ISH. In any case, hopefully @OlympicIRL will be celebrating first Irish Olympic spots with this team.

dcro 10,179 Posted July 11, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Switzerland has also named their eventing team: Patrizia Attinger (Hilton P) Robin Goddel (Grandeur de Lully CH) Ben Vogg (Noe des Vatys) Felix Vogg (Colero) Ben Vogg & Noe des Vatys' palmares keeps expanding! They are the only combination in history of the sport that competed at Junior/Young Rider championships as well as all three senior championships (ContCh, WEG, OG). 2010 European Junior Championships 2011, 2012, 2013 European Young Rider Championships 2014 World Equestrian Games 2015, 2017 European Championships 2016 Olympic Games Also we have a shortlist for the show jumping team. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted July 14, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 14, 2018 endurance team. Deadline for the nominated entries in endurance expired yesterday so I guess we should know all of the entries soon. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted July 20, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Australia has named its dressage team Mary Hanna (Boogie Woogie) Alexis Hellyer (Bluefields Floreno) Kristy Oatley (Du Soleil) Brett Parberry (DP Weltmieser) New Zealand has named its dressage individuals Julie Brougham (Vom Feinsten) John Thompson (Antonello) So, since Japan is prequalified and New Zealand decided not send a team, Australia is basically guaranteed to get the Group G team spot for Tokyo.

AlFHg 330 Posted July 20, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It may happen that G group won't be filled if Australia gets one of the first 6 positions, unless there are other G group teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathrine Dufour (Atterupgaards Cassidy) Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Blue Hors Zack or Blue Hors Zepter) Anna Zibrandtsen (Arlando) Rikke Svane (Finckenstein) Anders Dahl (Selten HW) Anna Kasprzak (Rock Star) Victoria Vallentin (Ludwig der Sonnenkonig) Bettina Jager (Belstaff) As expected, for the first time since 2011 Europeans Kasprzak's Donnperignon won't be on the team. Also no Agnete Kirk Thinggaard this time. Dufour and Bachmann Andersen (on Zepter) could both be scoring over 80% by the WEG, which is quite exciting for Danish chances. However, their 3rd counting rider may be their undoing medal-wise... And it ended up with Cathrine Dufour (Atterupgaards Cassidy), Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Blue Hors Zack), Anders Dahl (Selten HW) and Betina Jæger Jensen (Mane Stream Belstaff) dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it looks like Zibrandtsen's withdrawal during Aachen was more serious than it looked. Without her, Danish medal chances are likely gone as Dahl is quite inconsistent while Jaeger & Belstaff very inexperienced (they literally have only two Grand Prix internationals on record, although with decent scores). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how serious it was with Zibrandtsen as she has been selected as first reserve with Rikke Svane as second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's odd. Maybe elimination in Uggerhalne + withdrawal in Aachen played part. Otherwise I've got no idea how Dahl would be picked over her. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
