Boyd Martin and Fedarman B. Photo by Tilly Berendt.We certainly werent lacking for tension this morning as we gathered for the First Horse Inspection back in the stabling area here at the Versailles Olympic equestrian venue.Across the 81 horses presenting for 27 nations, including individuals, we saw five pairs held and one subsequently not accepted on second presentation.Sent to the holding box were Moroccan individual Noor Slauoi and Cash In Hand, Switzerlands Melody Johner and Toubleu de Rueire, Austrias Lea Siegl and DSP Fighting Line, Swedens Malin Asai and Golden Midnight, and Great Britains Yasmin Ingham and Banzai du Loir. Unfortunately, Lea Siegl and DSP Fighting Line were not accepted on their second attempt and will end their individual Olympic bid prematurely. All other pairs held were accpeted.This now gives us a field of 80 horses, including Traveling Reserves, moving forward to the commencement of competition on Saturday. Dressage begins at 9:30 a.m. local time / 3:30 a.m. ET. [For additional timetables and how to watch info, click here.]Caroline Pamukcu and HSH Blake.
