Equestrian FEI World Games 2018

2 more down for Belgium, 2 more down for Ireland. It's like Groundhog day.

Deslauriers with a refusal on the final fence. Again no clear for Canada.

Another epic fail for the Irish showjumpers 

We don't have any particularly strong showjumpers anyway.

But again there was some rotten luck involved. Out of 25 teams, Ireland was drawn 1st in first round and 2nd in second round! Incredible! A huge disadvantage to go before having any idea how the course is riding...

 

Cian and Sweetnam are good, but yeah, Paul and the other Shane were out of place here.

Still though, hard to excuse that shambles

But the truth is they were not strong enough to challenge. We haven't had a top showjumper who can deliver for a decade now, never mind 4 of them.

Have you forgotten the European gold already?

Did I miss Laura Kraut or didn't she start?

Horse lost a shoe. She'll be up in a minute.

Gaaah, can people please stop having 2 fences down?! Try to have at least one down, for crying out loud...
