Obviously, I AM! This weekend begins the kick off of the 2012 Equestrian Olympic Games. Beginning with Dressage, we will watch the best horses dance to music and then lead into the Cross Country events early next week. Show jumping beings July 31st, but the Grand Prix and Finals begin August 3rd. Looking forward to rooting on Team USA and the following riders: Beezie Madden, McLain Ward, Reed Kessler, and Rich Fellers will be competing in the show jumping events.
Beezie Madden and McLain Ward return to the show jumping team looking for their third-straight Olympic gold medals in the team event. They will be joined by youngster Reed Kessler and World Cup champion Rich Fellers.
Steffen Peters, Tina Konyot and Jan Ebeling consist of the U.S. Dressage Team. American Adrienne Lyle will compete at the Olympics as an individual rider and her score will not count toward the team score. Peters is considered a gold medal contender. Ebeling has drawn media attention recently due to one of his horses owners, Ann Romney, wife of politician Mitt Romney.
Boyd Martin, Karen O’Connor, Phillip Dutton, Tiana Coudray and Will Coleman will conclude the three day event team. Dutton and O’Connor will compete in their fifth Olympics this year.
The question is, what will You be wearing to attend the Equestrian Events of the 2012 Olympic Games? I hope to see some fabulous equestrian style! Share your photos on the Facebook page for the chance to be featured on EquestrianStylist.com!
