Training with US Olympic Even6ng Team Coach David OConner and the USEA Developing Riders Prepare Jordn and Her Mounts for the USs Most Pres6gious Three Day Event
Just days a)er her 2013 Fundraiser and Silent Auc8on in January, Jordn Linstedt le) her home in Redmond, Wash. for California beginning her journey to the renowned 2013 Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event. Rolex is the only CCI**** interna8onal level event in the United States, and Jordn debuted last year with a brilliant top 30 nish. Joining her are her mounts Tullibards Hawkwind (barn name Jack) and RevitaVet Capato along with a horse in training named Eva (owned by Kris8e Zierwick, Jordns assistant). Jordn headed to Flying Tail Farm in Gilroy, Calif. for her rst training session with US Olympic Even8ng Team Coach David OConner as part of the USEA Developing Riders Program. Riding Capato, Jordn and David focused on show jumping in this rst training session. According to Jordn, Capato was fantas8c although energe8c and a bit full of himself. Davids compliments for Capato surrounded his skill in show jumping no8ng that the pairs training should focus on improving his rideability on the at. Jordn enjoyed the Developing Riders training and is looking forward to working with David and the other riders for years to come.
