Aachen World Championships: change for the US team

With the Aachen World Championships just a week away, the United States has also made a change to the lineup of the team that will represent the country: Jordan Laplaca and Gold Play are out.

Selected for the first major event of his career, 38-year-old Jordan Laplaca will ultimately miss out on the World Championships. Despite winning the Wellington CDI 3* in February, the Nations Cup Special in March, and the Ocala Grand Prix in April—as well as representing the USA at the Hagen Nations Cup in early July—Laplaca’s summer journey has come to an end just before Aachen, as he has ultimately been replaced by Kasey Perry Glass and her 14-year-old horse, Heartbeat WP.

Eight years after the World Games in Lexington, where she won team silver with Dublet, Kasey Perry Glass is thus rejoining the US team. No explanation for this change has been given so far.
