Urico tested positive for cocaine at the 2012 Olympic trials.

Bardolina (his mount these games) tested for another banned substance in 2018

Deslauriers blamed the cocaine on the groom.

Jane Clark moved her horses from Deslauriers to Maher, who then made a dodgy, rip off your friend and sponsor horse sale, which she forgave. She did threaten to pull major financing from the USEF Trust or whatever it’s now called.

It’s a shame, our sleazy riders. Amazing that any wealthy sponsors still hang in there.

Everyone who is watching should take a minute to contact NBC Sports to let them know we appreciate the equestrian coverage from Tokyo. On Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, whatever you can think of to let them know we’re out here and we’re watching it!

And Mclain had plastic chips in boots, Mario’s horse tested positive for cocaine, etc, etc. That doesn’t take away from their accomplishments at the top level of sport. Cian has been consistently at the top for many, many years now.

As far as I am concerned those are black marks against those riders and I don’t forget it. No matter what their other accomplishments are, these incidents are forever part of their resume. The welfare of the horse always comes first.

Here’s hoping Laura Kraut can get one American into the individual final!

[AffirmedHope]

Four faults for Jessica’s Olympic debut. Not bad, the future of show jumping in the US is bright.

Let’s go Laura!

[AffirmedHope]

Well dang it! It’s okay! Still got the team competition!

[Cancara]

Beautifully handled that!

[JenJ]

only 6 left to ride …
if those with 4 faults are tied for 30th (they are 29th now), do they all go through to the individual final?

[MHM]

No. Separated by time.

What’s the benefit to giving a horse a human anti- depressant? Pain reliever or mood stabilizer or ?

Not an anti-depressant, an anti-psychotic, used for horses on extended stall rest -except sometimes it (fluphenazine) had the opposite effect. Warning: not pleasant to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbaIUL_nzN0

The anti-psychotics have never been approved for veterinarian use.

I adore this horse Quel homme de hus. I’d love my mare to have his foal haha.

[Cancara]

Wow that horse really did not want to know!

[LittleBlackDress]

The article talking about Bardolina said anti depressant. I don’t know enough about drugs to know if it’s one or the other

[Renn_aissance]

The Czech rider handled that beautifully. Lovely seat.

The horse looked very in command of himself. “No thank you I shan’t today.”

I found Lucinda Green’s commentary to be a rambling babble spoken by someone with no “inside baseball” insights into showjumping (I’m sure she’s fine with eventing, in a Camilla Parker-Bowlesian way) and certainly incapable of explaining things to a lay audience in a way that would still engage experienced viewers. Why her? There are so many better suited to the job. Too much for me to take at 3am–just turned off the volume after an hour of nonsense.

[Larksmom]

just listen to Melanie smith Taylor and you will see how much better Lucinda is. She should let John speak more, he is the best in the world at this, but I find her to be pleasant but a bit chatty.
