That was really impressive from Bugan. Lots to like.

 

He gets 69.2% today.

 

I saw him for the first time,  doesn't he look too tall for a rider ? I mean I had the feeling he is really too tall

I doubt he is as tall as William Speed Lane Fox-Pitt (yes, that's his real name).

Bugan improves in Special and scores 69.8%. He will therefore take 208 points for Olympic rankings in Munich. 

 

He even got 72% from an Australian judge who will be on the panel in Tokyo next year. More to come.

Exciting to see  Zimbabwe in 2nd place after day 1 of dressage at Bramham (arguably the most competitive annual 4* event).

And it's time for the epic day of cross-country at Bramham...

 

Starting with CCI4*-Long...

 

 

Continuing with CCI4*-Long for U25 riders...

 

 

And ending with CCI4*-Short...

New Olympic formats are being tested at Hagen Future Champions event this week.

 

Dressage is using the heat system, which in retrospect I kind of like. There were 6 heats, with Top 2 + 6 lucky losers progressing to the individual final.

 

Jumping will only have two individual rounds, so I am expecting a big jump-off, unfortunately.

Highly interesting cross-country at Luhmuhlen 4*. Six in a row failed to complete.

Tim Price wins, and defends the title that his wife Jonelle won last year.
