Saturday, August 25 2012
Paralympic Dressage Primer Part Three: Get to know your North American Competitors by Ellie Brimmer August 24, 2012 –Now that we are all settled in London and the horses are moving into the Greenwich Park venue today, I thought it might be a good idea to take a look at the North American competitors, so you know a little more about the local riders you may cheer for. Representing North America include a four rider team from both The United States and Canada, a three rider team from Mexico and an individual rider from the US Virgin Islands. Let’s take a look first at the United States: This years top ranked rider is Rebecca Hart, she is the 2012 USEF Para-Equestrian Dressage National Champion and our only Paralympic veteran on our London squad.

Adventures In France: The Road To Belleau Wood Memorial
Thursday, August 23 2012
As always there is a horse related tie in with this and it does do way beyond that we went over to the Netherlands to visit my dear friend Geoff and to watch the Grand Prix Special in Greenwich for the London 2012 Olympics (more on this to follow). First was our adventurous day trip to France so Joel could see the location of the Battle of Belleau Wood near Chateau Thierry a bit north of Paris, France. Geoff was kind enough to offer to drive us down and back for the day so Joel could view this tribute to service members worldwide.
