Olympic equestrian hopeful Allison Springer ’97 and her horse, Arthur, saw their London chances improve with the naming of the short list for the 2012 U.S. Olympic team in three-day eventing. Allison, Arthur, and fellow U.S. hopefuls will ride in a three-day international competition at Barbary Castle, England, June 27-July 1, after which the U.S. Team will be named. Allison’s parents, Bill ’65 and Carolyn, will be cheering from the stands at Barbary.
