Is there also a reserve? I was wondering if teams from North America will be sending reserves, as it is so far to travel. Also I'm not sure about quarantine from North America. In Canada I believe there is one reserve (Christilot Boylen) but she is based in Germany.
It's great to see that Brentina is back in action again! Go Debbie!!
the reserve is either Leslie Morse or Sue Blinks, but that's not official yet. Also, King is taking Idocus as reserve horse and I believe Peters Lombardi.
I just heard that Christilot will not be joining the Canadian team as reserve. Evi Strasser is going.
Does anyone know Brentina's size? I know Debbie is petite but I thought Brentina was not a large horse either and I can't find information on her height.
