ESNZ high performance eventing coach Erik Duvander said the team combinations are all well proven, but he cautioned it was still all about putting it together on the day.
“Everyone has worked very hard to reach the high targets we have set as a team, and that includes the riders, the trainers, all of the support team and the selectors,” said Duvander, who is also the eventing chef d’equipe for the World Games. “We have an incredible amount of energy in this team, and we have super talented horses.”
