U.S. Jumping teamTomorrow's team competition will see Laura Kraut of Royal Palm Beach, Fla., on Baloutinue lead-off as the pathfinding combination for the team, while Jessica Springsteen of Colts Neck, N.J., on Don Juan van de Dononeve will go second in the team order.
The anchor combination of McLain Ward of Brewster, N.Y., on Contagious will look to cement the team's placing in the top10 teams that will move forward to Saturday's Jumping Team Final competition for medals. The U.S. Jumping Team will go 13th in the order of 19 total teams.
"There’s been incredible team spirit internally," said Chef d'Equipe Robert Ridland. "All the decisions have been made jointly, and McLain coming in fresh for the team has always been the plan. Fortunately, all the horses are sound, and the riders are feeling great, and we can do exactly what we were planning on doing. That’s our strategy, and our expectations, of course, are to live another day and move on to the final on Saturday and we all feel prepared and well-positioned to do that."
