Ten days to go before the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG), held Sept. 25-Oct. 10 in Lexington, Ky., and the American horses and riders are putting the finishing touches on their preparation. Where are they and what are they up to?

The Dressage horses have all made it back to Gladstone, N.J., where they are training at the USET Foundation Headquarters up until the WEG. Ravel and Steffen Peters had their trip delayed a couple of days by Hurricane Earl, but they arrived safe and sound on Sept. 8. They joined: Tina Konyot and Calecto V, Todd Flettrich and Otto, Katherine Bateson-Chandler and Nartan, Catherine Haddad and Winyamaro and Pierre St. Jacques and Lucky Tiger. They will remain there until they depart for the World Games under the guidance of Anne Gribbons, the U.S. Dressage Technical Advisor.

The Driving teams wrapped up the second of two mandatory outings for their 10 teams in Oldwick, N.J. Then six of the teams: Tucker Johnson, Chester Weber, Jim Fairclough, Josh Rector, Gary Stover, and Bill Long went to the Laurels at Landhope CDE for WEG Team Training in a competition setting. They polished their skills under the guidance of U.S. coach Michael Freund.

Cindy O'Reilly is the only US female driver at the World Games. Cindy, along with Bill Long, Gary Stover, and Casey Zubek participated in a mandatory outing two weekends ago at the Carolina Horse Park in Raeford, N.C. Mike McLennan rounds out the 10 drivers who will represent the United States
