TWIZZEL
b. g., 16.2 hands, 16 years, German-bred Westphalian (Argentinus—Lady Bedford, Sensitive), owned by Jim Wildasin.

WILLIAM COLEMAN
age 28, Gordonsville, Va.

This pair placed fourth at the Dansko Fair Hill CCI*** (Md.) and seventh at the Barbury Castle CIC*** (England) in 2011. They finished fifth at the Luhmühlen CCI**** (Germany) in 2009.

The only thing missing from Will Coleman’s skill set is luck, but the stars are beginning to align for him. Will’s final placing will be determined by his willingness to go fast crosscountry. His technique is flawless, but he must now put that technique to good use. I predict a finish just outside the top 10 for this pair, if Will remembers that he is at a competition.
