Great news about Judy also, I hadn't heard anything It was just held this afternoon. By the way, I see that Anna Merveldt is on the start list for tomorrow's second Grand Prix. Apparently that will be her first competition at this level since 2014 WEG. Oh, and looks like they uploaded the video. Beats any other venue IMO.

dcro 10,179 Posted June 30, 2017 Author #242 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Meanwhile, Luxembourg jumping team earned a historic 2nd place at their home Nations Cup event. It was actually the first NC competition in Luxembourg in 25 years, and what a great gift for the home crowd. I believe that's the first sports event I watched from Luxembourg. It was rather weird to hear all that cheering for #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the video, lovely performance from Judy and Vancouver Great news also about Anna.... hopefully we will see more Irish representation in future, Judy is tired waving that flag practically all on her own.

dcro 10,179 Posted July 14, 2017 Author #246 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) There is a proposal going around about removing the coefficient that dressage has in eventing, and thus make dressage less influential. There is also an idea for replacing the current penalty system with positive scoring system (aka, person with the most points over the three days is the winner). If accepted, these changes will be introduced in 2018. Meanwhile, Jonty&Art campaign has raised around 64K in the first 24 hours... Including the pocket money that a 10 year old girl from ireland has sent. Hopefully Jonty will get some help from celebrities, companies and media outlets to make this work.

dcro 10,179 Posted July 18, 2017 Author #248 Share Posted July 18, 2017 CHIO Aachen main events start tomorrow. Wimbledon of equestrian, with full capacity stadiums. Here are the entries and results. Meanwhile, it looks like Macedonia will likely compete at the European Jumping Championships in Gothenburg this summer! Luka Zaloznik switched allegiance from SLO to MKD last year, and apparently he fulfilled the qualifying criteria. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
