Rio de Janeiro—Aug. 5

All eventing horses presented at the Olympic Games passed the first horse inspection, though there have been some changes in rosters since then.

Spain’s Hito CP (Albert Heroso Farras) was sent to the holding box then passed on re-inspection, and both Jock Paget’s Clifton Lush (New Zealand) and Nicolas Lionel Wettstein’s Nadeville Merze (Ecuador) were asked to jog a second time then were accepted by the ground jury.

Swedish team combination Luron and Anna Nilsson did not present so their reserve rider Linda Algotsson and Fairnet will step onto the main squad.
