Friday Poll: Your Favorite USA Olympic Equestrian

Inquiring minds want to know.

One thing I love about the Olympics is that no matter what else is going on in the world right now (read: an ugly election cycle in the US!) for these two weeks in August we’re all united behind our amazing Team USA athletes of all sports. It’s refreshing to scroll through my Facebook news feed and see post after post in support of our athletes.

That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t still pick a favorite. We’re zooming in on just the equestrian team partnerships for this poll, but we want to know: out of Team USA’s fabulous equestrians (including, of course, the horses), which one is your personal favorite? Each one has an incredible backstory, a supportive team behind them helping them on their road to Rio and a standout partnership with their horse, but let’s face it: we’ve all got a soft spot for one (or more) of them.

Share your reasons why in the comments section!
