Phillip Dutton and Mighty Nice at Rolex Kentucky
The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has substituted a horse on the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Phillip Dutton has withdrawn Caroline Moran, Simon Roosevelt, and Thomas Tierney’s Fernhill Cubalawn, due to veterinary concerns.
Phillip’s direct reserve, Mighty Nice, HND Group’s 2004 Irish Sport Horse gelding, will replace Fernhill Cubalawn. Mighty Nice finished fourth at the Rolex Kentucky CCI4* this year
Fernhill Cubalawn sustained a minor injury while training and is expected to make a full recovery.
