Matthew Flynn and Wizzerd will make their sixth five-star start. Last year they finished 17th at Luhmühlen and 26th at Pau (France). Sydney Elliott, who was third in the Lexington CCI4*-S with QC Diamantaire, will be making her third five-star start. Great Britain-based U.S. rider Katherine Coleman, who was 23rd at Badminton (England) in May with Monbeg Senna, will ride RLE Limbo Kaiser in the gelding’s first five-star.
In the four-star, Dan Kreitl and Carmango will compete abroad for the first time. The pair won The Dutta Corp./USEF CC4*-L Eventing National Championship at the Tryon International Equestrian Center last fall in their CCI4*-L debut. As the winner of that event, Kreitl received a $20,000 ticket grant to travel abroad to compete in 2023. They were most recently fifth in the Lexington CCI4*-S.
Hallie Coon will compete Cute Girl in the four-star. Coon was the 2022 recipient of the Wilton Fair Fund, awarded by the U.S. Eventing Association Foundation, and is basing in England currently.
