An individual Olympic gold medalist, three World Cup Champions and a pair of World Equestrian Games gold medalists are among the impressive lineup of athletes set to contest the inaugural CSI Greenwich Presented by ShowPlusยฎ at the Greenwich Polo Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA.
Consisting of CSI 3* and CSI 2* divisions, CSI Greenwich will take place in its entirety in a unique one-day event on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021. The vision of Olympic medalist and former World No. 1 Kent Farrington (USA), the event will shine the spotlight on top-level international jumping sport in the greater New York area.
The confirmed entries feature the best of both the local and global stages. In addition to Farrington, currently ranked 13th in the world, Brewster, NY based McLain Ward (USA) stands out amongst the group. The current World No. 26 is fresh off a team silver medal at the Tokyo Olympic Gamesโthe fourth Olympic medal of his decorated career.
Ward will bring out the popular HH Azur to jump at CSI Greenwich. The now-15-year-old mare gave Ward his first FEI Jumping World Cupโข Final victory in 2017 and will look to add the $150,000 CaptiveOne Advisors Grand Prix of Greenwich CSI 3* to her lengthy resume. Wardโs CSI2* mount Blossom Z took home two wins at last monthโs The Hampton Classic Horse Show CSI 4*.
Two other former World Cup Champions, Mario Deslauriers (CAN) and Beat Mรคndli (SUI) will join Ward in the lineup, as will individual Olympic gold medalist Rodrigo Pessoa (BRA). The accomplished horseman calls the locally-based Artemis Farms home in the summertime.
Based across the street at Back Country Farm, Sydney Shulman (ISR) may be riding the hottest streak into the competition. The 26-year-old won an impressive
