Laura rather wants to concentrate and save Verdades („Diddy“) for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August.

Last year, the team won team gold and individual silver at the Pan-Am Games in Toronto (CAN) and came in fourth as a team at the World Equestrian Games in Caen (FRA). At the World Cup Final 2015, in Las Vegas (USA) Laura earned the 4th place.

„We knew it would be ambitious to try for both the World Cup and the Olympics in the same year,“ Laura Graves told dressage-news.com. She adds: „Our number one priority is the Olympics and Team USA.“
