Olympic Show Jumping - London 2012

The equestrian events are in full swing in London.  While it is likely that the Americans won't medal overall in show jumping (they are currently in 7th place), Rich Fellers had a clear round yesterday and is poised for an individual medal later this week.  McLain Ward is also in the individual round with 4 faults.

That's Rich Fellers' wife, Fellers, George Morris, McLain Ward and Charlie Jayne from the US Team early this morning going over strategy for today.

Here is Reed Kessler who had 8 faults yesterday:

Good luck USA Team!
