The U.S. eventing team for this autumn’s Pan American Games in Chile includes a mixture of experience and rising stars.
Named to the squad are Sydney Elliott and QC Diamantaire; 2022 world championships veteran Liz Halliday and Miks Master C, third at Land Rover Kentucky last spring; Caroline Pamukcu with HSH Blake and
Sharon White and Claus 63. Liz’s direct reserve is Cooley Nutcracker, in case Miks Master C is unable to compete.
Tamie Smith, also a 2022 world championships team member, and Kynan are the traveling reserves.
The U.S. qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics last year with a silver medal at the world championships. So a bit of the pressure is off for the Pan Ams, enabling several combinations to get their first international championship mileage without having to worry about qualifying for Paris.
