Juliet is an Irish Olympian that competed in the Mexico 1968 Olympics in Eventing ๐ด Juliet dug out her full 1968 Team Ireland tracksuit for the Team Ireland Centenary Ball on Saturday evening and found her seat at the Equestrian table, Olympian number #268 โ๏ธ
The Mexico Cross-Country phase was notorious for the biblical monsoon which submerged the ditches into ponds causing serveral horses to end up swimmingโฆbut the competition carried on. Juliet had a fall, remounted, which they were allowed (even expected to do!), and still finished in individual 7th. Without the fall penalty points, her score would have won a medal!
