Thursday August 12, 2010
More exclusive videos from the Canadian Eventing Team training camp in preparation for the 2010 World Equestrian Games. The team will be riding in ECOGOLD saddle pads in Kentucky and Canadian Eventing officials and riders on the squad are really hopeful that the team can get a top 5 finish, which would earn them a qualification for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
The mood is really upbeat and positive but there is also a lot of pressure to get one of those 6 coveted spots.on the final team. It will be interesting to watch the Canadian short-listed riders at Richland Park Aug. 26-29 and the American Eventing Championships in Georgia Sept 9-12. They will not hold anything back.
