Middle Eastern qualifier was held today. Qatar and UAE have qualified for the final. :UAE made a big surprise, they are going for their first Nations Cup final and they eliminated Saudi Arabia. :KSA is declining very much in their most successful Olympic discipline...

 

Tomorrow we have the first North American qualifier, where :CAN:ESA:MEX:USA will be chasing their first points. :)

Sadly El Salvadoran team didn't start in the second round after getting a cricket score of 49 in the initial round. :(

 

Nice win for the Irish btw (Irish based riders in the USA). They seem to have more of a winners' mentality over those in Europe, so maybe they should be given a chance at big events. They defeated both USA and CAN, who had some strong riders entered.

Nice result! Would be nice to give our American based riders a chance at the WEG.

Neumunster WC in dressage about to kick off.

 

Intriguing one for me, as all three of my favs (Krinke Susmelj, Oatley, Reynolds) are competing here and can pretty much secure their places at the WC Final. :d

Excellent news, :NZL Wendi Williamson and Dejavu will be embarking on the 60 hours long trip to Nebraska and thus become the first Kiwi rider in history to compete at the dressage WC final. :cheer::bowdown::clap:

5th start, 5th WC win for Isabell Werth this season, this time with Emilio. :bowdown: Even before this win in Gothenburg she had a maximum of 80 pts.

 

Meanwhile, the calendar for the Event Rider Masters 2017 has been released. 7 stages in three nations, expansion from the first season which only had events in Great Britain. However, the thing I love about ERM are their broadcasts. High quality, knowledgeable and funny commentators, "nerds" from EquiRatings talking about rider/horse statistics :lol:, interviews with riders/favourites during the competition etc. It's just an awesome presentation of the eventing. :)

Driving WC final in Gothburg kicked off today with some shocking results!

 

Overnight leader is :SUI Voutaz, closely followed by :HUN Dobrovitz. Big favourites, :AUS Exell, :NED de Ronde and :NED Chardon had a bad day. Exell and de Ronde are 3rd and 4th overnight, so still with a chance. Meanwhile, an absolute legend and the defending champion Chardon is way out of it, back in 7th place.

 

Results - time differences will be halved and will be used as starting penalties for tomorrow's decider.
