US Equestrian has announced the replacement of Will Colemans ride, Diabolo, this morning ahead of the First Horse Inspection. Liz Halliday and Cooley Nutcracker, originally the U.S. Traveling Reserve, will now be slotted in to team competition, while Sydney Elliott and QC Diamantaire have arrived on site and trotted up for the Ground Jury to ensure their eligibility to sub in if needed.This comes as a devastating blow for the Coleman camp, who had already switched from Off the Record to Diabolo earlier during training camp in France. Diabolo began to show signs of discomfort after moving into stabling at the venue and will be treated for a potential abscess in the right front.The last 48 hours have truly been tough for our team, but particularly for Will Coleman. Off The Record looked well in training camp, but Wills direct reserve, Diabolo, continued to impress and was physically in such great condition, so we made the decision to place him into the team roster before moving to the venue. Diabolo trotted up 100% sound prior to shipping from training camp and arrived at the venue happy and fit. Unfortunately, shortly after settling into stabling he showed significant signs of discomfort and the team immediately got to work to address a potential abscess in the right front foot. Team Farrier Beck Ratte, Dr. Susan Johns, Diabolos groom Hailey Burlock, and Wills wife, Katie, were so diligent and tireless in treating Diabolo and he did in fact trot up sound last night, said Chef dEquipe Bobby Costello in a US Equestrian statement. With that said, we felt after weighing the risk, it was not in Diabolos or the teams best interest for him to move forward with the competition this week. Were all truly devastated for Will and his entire team. It takes so much work to get to this moment and its just such an unfortunate turn of events. Weve got to look forward though, and with that said, were heading into this competition with four competitive horses, and l still feel very confident in this teams ability to be successful here in Paris.#Paris2024: [Website] [Equestrian Schedule, Timing, Scoring] [Peacock for U.S. Viewers] [How to Watch Guide] [Ticket Resale Market] [Spectator Guides] [ENs Coverage]
