The U.S. Equestrian Federation has announced changes made to the U.S. eventing team competing at the Boekelo CCI*** in the Netherlands. The event doubles as a Nations Cup tournament, where three of the horse-and-rider combinations will compete against teams from other nations.
The USEF has added Michael Pollard and his horse DV8 to the list in replacement of two American riders who recently withdrew. DV8 is an 11-year-old New Zealand Thoroughbred gelding owned by Michael, Nathalie Pollard and Carl Bouckaert.
Two riders have withdrawn, Ali Slusher with Last Call, and Jules Stiller with Charlie Weld.
The remaining riders, in addition to Pollard, who will contest the Boekelo CCI*** and the Nations Cup are:
