Burton is the 6th and last rider to go inside the time (on his other horse).

 

Austraila and New Zealand slayed it.

That's not the way I'd like the top equestrian level appear in Polish media: Sara Algotsson Ostholt's car got burned on the A1 highway. One horse died, the second is burnt. The driver got posioned with smoke, he's in hospital.

Ireland has received an invitation to compete at this year's Aachen Nations cup... In dressage.

 

That's sort of like having an Ethiopian 100m runner invited for Diamond League. By that I don't mean an undeserved invitation, but rather Ethiopia suddenly having a sprinter.

That was really impressive from Bugan. Lots to like.

 

He gets 69.2% today.
