The Olympics love a teenage breakthrough, and London 2012 could see the United States' Reed Kessler announce her arrival on the world's sport scene.
She may also be the trailblazer for selling equestrian to the hard-to-please American public. Competitors ride well into their 50s, 60s or even 70s, but Kessler is only 18 and regarded as one of the best showjumpers in the United States.
