Israel is building a formidable team that could make the squad a factor in Nations’ Cup show jumping competition. We know the usual powers–Germany, the U.S., the Netherlands, France, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland and a few others, but Israel may soon have to be considered as a possible medal contender.
None of the riders were born in Israel. Daniel Bluman, who rode in the Olympics for Colombia, changed his nationality, along with Alberto Michan (Mexico), Danielle Goldstein (U.S.) and now, Californian Ashlee Bond. This is a group with potential.
