3 team gold medals = Germans?

Exactly. He’s probably the least likely person to fail a drug test because he knows for sure he will be tested and he likely has more to lose at this point than anyone else.

I’d sooner give a break to someone with an addiction problem than someone who put glass shards in his horse’s boots.:no:

Come on it was a joke…sorry a person that fails twice deserves a little sh*t. I really do wish him well…I think you mean can let it go.

Amen I couldn’t agree more…Not a fan of who you’re talking about:yes: Hey someone that makes the team twice and fails twice has to expect a little crap about it… I do think he’s a great rider and would be happy for him if he wins!!!

The shards were plastic!!! :slight_smile:

We need a tongue in cheek icon!

He’s been receiving crap about it for years. He also speaks openly about how he messed up and how he changed his life so he could continue in a sport he loves. I think it’s time to move on people…

I’m sure in the next couple of years people will move on but since this is the first olympics he’s made it to in the last three…he can take a little sh*t about it…:wink:

Well clearly he’s been doing something right since then. I don’t see any US riders in the top 5.

I was never a fan but he has paid the price and changed his life around, good for him, its time to move on. I wish him success.

Hey, Jealoushe- that was NOt my quote although you have indicated it was. Please correct that .

ha ha BURN !!

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Eric brings home the ONLY Canadian medal in these Olympics?

Wouldn’t THAT be kind of fitting for all those moronic sports writers who have nothing useful to say about the equestrian sports?

I’m happy he’s changed his life and I don’t think he would be shocked by the jokes… I’ve always loved the way he rode in the ring and wish him nothing but the best and hope he kicks Mclain’s butt:D

Sorry should be fixed

OMG we have team gold in dr. and eventing jumpupanddown. I don’t think we can get gold in jumping thought (well in theory any team can…) there are just not enough Shutterflys and MMB’s available :frowning:

Now we just have to add the individual in dressage and than off to jumping.
tralilala die Krauts sind da

I can’t help it- I love to think about Authentic in Las Vegas where the horse went on jumping the mega jumps after rider went off.

Sorry- but…

I really think we’ll kick this one to the curb- 3 gold medals…dressage, eventing and showjumping!! YES !! That’s what it’s all about…my bets are of course on the Germans.(with the wonderfully adopted and naturalized Meredith Michaels Bierbaum kicking in with the gold…)

just my 5 cents…sorry Ridgeback…but you love Catherine and she’s in Germany…that’s why!

Sabine what are you talking about? I want the U.S. to win 100% and oh by the way if the German’s do win you will have won because of an American who was trained in America:D I think you will find in this thread where I said the German’s must be stopped… Don’t forget you live in the U.S. now!!:slight_smile:

Maybe you didn’t read the very first post in this thread where I wrote, 3 team gold medals = Germans?(question mark means I’m asking not hoping)


“I think the Germans have great odds to take the team Gold in all three disciplines I’m hoping the U.S. jumpers will pull through and take team Gold…”

I know…I know…I was just teasing you! Who knows who’ll win…there is a strong chance though! We’ll all find out very shortly!
