Lisa Coulter and Smart Tinseltown represented Canada in the Reining Second Individual Qualifier at the FEI World Equestrian Games ™ Tryon 2018 in Mill Spring, NC on Sept. 13, 2018. “These horses are major athletes and we ask a lot of them,” said Coulter. “Smart Tinseltown tried his guts out and ultimately he was just a little tired. I’m still thrilled with his heart and his performance, and he’s a great horse.” Coulter continued, “This is my third Games, and this facility has been the best yet. I hope they welcome us back because it’s a beautiful arena to compete in – it feels good, it’s big, it’s set up right, and the spectators can all interact with us really closely. We have nothing but huge thanks to this whole organization for putting this on the way that they did.” Reining competition at WEG 2018 will conclude on Sept. 15 with the top 20 athletes vying for individual medals. Next up for the Canadian Equestrian Team (CET) is the second and final day of the dressage portion of eventing on Sept. 14.For the full schedule, live results and more info visit https://tryon2018.com.
