The US Equestrian Federation has announced that Kent Farrington has withdrawn himself from the short list in consideration for the World Equestrian Games 2018 in Tryon.
In a statement on their website, the federation writes: "After evaluating the form of his short-listed horse Gazelle, the 12-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare he owns with Robin Parsky, following his return to competition post injury this winter, Farrington believes it is in Gazelle’s and the team’s best interests not to purse WEG selection at this stage. A replacement will not be made to the short list in accordance to the U.S. Show Jumping selection procedures for the 2018 WEG."
The short list now consists of:
- Jamie Barge
- Margie Engle
- Lillie Keenan
- Laura Kraut
- Beezie Madden
- Devin Ryan
- Adrienne Sternlicht
- McLain Ward
