:USA Marilyn Little and Scandalous are in the lead after the first day of dressage in Luhmuhlen. Few riders might challenge her tomorrow, Hoy primarily. Leaderbord here.

 

Oh, and I forgot to mention it last week. :JPN Yoshiaki Oiwa & Calle have won quite a strong 3* eventing competition in Braham last weekend... This up and coming partnership seems to be very much on a roll. Don't act all surprised if Japan snatches a medal in eventing in Tokyo. :p

Some cool news from Czech Republic today.

 

:SVK Michael Bugan & For President got the first out of two required 65% qualifying scores for European Dressage Championships this summer... :yes Here's hoping he makes it, would be a historic achievement for Slovakia. :fingers:

 

Meanwhile, :HUN Aniko Losonczy & Mystery managed to get their second 65% score. She becomes the third qualified Hungarian meaning that they will field a team for the first time in decades. :)

Bettina Hoy is leading both of the competitions in Luhmuhlen. Amazing :bowdown:

 

Leading the German CIC3* Championships with Seigneur Medicott with 26.3 penalties after XC.

Leading the CCI4* with Designer with 36.0 penalties after XC.

Rotterdam weekend over, Americans indeed managed to beat the Dutch. It's not like the Dutch are winning everything these days, but seeing how Rotterdam is always their selection event they always have their best team here (other nations mostly didn't have the best riders).

 

But anyway, it has been quite a weird weekend altogether. Funny weather, flying objects, spectators loudly falling in the stands during competition and so on. All this atmosphere caused some unusually bad scores in the dressage portion of the event though.

 

Gust of wind blew away the entire long side of dressage arena during Anabel Balknahol's ride. :d

    • Last Call For Entries!!   If anyone still wants to enter, this is your last chance to do so. Since I now won't be able to use tomorrow as a voting day I have dedcied to give people an extra 24 hours from this point to enter. The public jury vote will still open at the advertised time. Below I have tagged user from countries that have yet to enter, hopefully they will consider to do so at the last opportunity:   South Korea: @erw@jgb0062 Croatia: @Nikica@snk911@VISOKO Gabon: @Damienyork Belgium: @ALABRAMMIE@Misterxxt Latvia: @Blueniceguy Dominican Republic: @eduardo096 Singapore: @bennetcraig39 Egypt: @mahmoud elrefaei @thepharoah Qatar: @amrgunenr1@KAE Australia: @Sir Rols@Stu192 @dullard Philippines: @JohnRamos84 @PHI2019 @Tigercub Iran: @Hesamkh1990 @MHSN Estonia: @Katie_M Bangladesh: @Razu Ahmed  Montenegro: @ChandlerMne Hong Kong: @pacowong1223    Also @NaBUru38 I know you said you weren't up for doing it due to time but do you think you would reconsider? The process would now only take 3 days with you sending your song Tuesday and voting on Thursday, which isn't really too much time taken up.

    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.

    • What can you expect from a simple woman from Magadan? As long as she was just running around and not talking, it was okay, but since she became an head of the federation in Rus and started talking this nonsense, it turned out that she was empty-headed. On top of that, she's fat as a pig. Disgusting person inside and out.
