For the past year, Courtney King has been walking a defined line toward qualifying for the 2008 Olympics in Hong Kong.  She and her horses spent 2 months training and competing in Germany to gain the necessary European exposure. They then spent 3 months in Florida to compete in the necessary shows to qualify for the Selection Trials. There Courtney was selected to represent the United States in the 2008 World Cup in Holland aboard Idocus.

Courtney has been called "the Tiger Woods of dressageā€

She has now qualified 2 horses the 2008 Olympics selection trials, Idocus owned by Christine McCarthy and Harmony's Mythilus owned by Harmony Amateur Sports Foundation for the Final Olympic Selection Trials to be held in San Juan Capistrano, CA at the end of June. Twelve horse/rider combinations are invited to compete.

The top 3 are then selected as the Olympic Team along with 2 alternates who will travel in July to Germany for quarantine. Then 4 horse/rider combinations will go on to Hong Kong for the month of August.  We are fortunate to have Jennifer Baumert host Courtney for two days at Cross Creek Farm, where she is now based as resident trainer.
