Jean Teulere and Didier Dhennin. JT's horse injured a foot after losing a shoe and DD's Ismene had blood taken and they weren't that happy with the results so don't want to risk it.
Only Nico/Hildago and Stanislas de Zuchowitcz/Quirinal de la Bastide will be going to Lex
I know who's going to badders and apart from Bruno Bouvier who is an 'old' timer now
and who's doing it for kicks
, I was surprised at the other 2... Particularly at Diamant du Pontet, 18 yo AA, doing badders for the first time at his age
The other one is another AA. The good part is that both riders are girls: Hope both do well as this country (unlike the UK) needs toshow a more prominent female presence at top levels in eventing
