Rio de Janeiro—Aug. 9   

Sixty-seven dressage horses presented during yesterday’s horse inspection at the Olympics. Three horses were held, including Frenchman Pierre Volla’s mount Badinda Altena, who re-presented and passed.

Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen with Dante Weltino OLD and Italy’s Valentina Truppa with Chablis were sent to the holding box and were re-presented this morning at 7:30 a.m. Dante Weltino OLD did not pass, while Chablis did pass after two trips down the jog strip.

Dressage gets under way tomorrow with the Grand Prix.
