It began with Team USA while getting a Medal in the Equestrian Team as they teamed up as Laura Kraut, the 2012 Gold Medalist, rode on her Horse Baloutinue as they started off with massive jump as she goes through the obstacle course. Laura has been a great strider and her horse is a natural a careful horse is sensitive with touching the fence. At the triple rail combination, Baloutinue hit the first rail as it counts 4 points penalty, which managed the rest of them. She finished the run with 77.45 seconds as she started off with 4th place for Team USA. Then Karl Cook took over Kent Farrington because of allergies for Farrington’s Horse concerns as Karl took over his place for this competition. The Horse he will be riding is Caracole De La Roque as he started with the jumps and specialty rails and managed to mentally stabilize the difficult rails and was able to finished the challenge with 0 penalty points and finished his best performance with 75.88 seconds as team USA moved to 3rd Place close to the British Team and the French Team. Lastly, McLain Ward and his Horse Ilex takes on the wild exuberance from Ilex after the first rail as McLain resumed the ride to keep moving through the statue of liberty fence. Then Ilex made a tight jump from the triple rail to the grape vineyards fence. He made a clean jump performance to the very end as McLain gets 76.57 as they went under the pressure as Team USA takes First in the time results of 229.90 while finishing the Team Jumping Event with a Silver Medal while Great Britain takes Gold Medal with 237.47 with 2 penalty points and France took Bronze with 238.12 and 7 penalty points as the Netherlands take 4th with 238.69 and 7 penalty points with France.
