One of my favorite commentator quotes from yesterday “her horse is not averse to dropping a rail in stadium”.

It is to help the horses slip over any fences they rub (rather than gripping/getting scratched). I used to just towel or hose mine off when cooling down after XC.

How many of the top individuals go back for Finals?

That is unfortunate, the rule that keeps WFP out of the individual competition even though he earned a spot…

Thanks. Do they subtract the unjustifiably ineligible? What I am trying to say is, will Phillip go?

Well, time for me to go grab an hour of Zzzzzz’s. Up way too early at 2:40 AM PST. It’ll probably hit me later today when I’m attempting to muck out corrals or something.

One of the commenters said that a woman has never won individual gold in eventing? Is that true?
