Best Weekend All Year is back on thanks to donations from the eventing community, making it possible to run without spectators.

 

Spectators are of course an important part of the BWAY, but at least it is something. :cheer:

Rich Fellers (WC champion, London Olympian) becomes the latest American equestrian to be suspended by SafeSport over "Allegations of Misconduct".

 

SafeSport really does have an excellent track record. Their last victim was Bob McDonald, who was suspended, had his name driven through mud, got ostracized by the equestrian community... Only to have the allegations dropped and everything reinstated. You know, guilty until proven innocent.

:LUX Nicolas Wagner takes a nice victory in Doha, only to have the TV director display the :NED Dutch flag for the victory ceremony. :p

 

Well, at least they got the anthem right.

Feels SO good to be watching live jumping again. :cheer: It's been over a year I think.

 

In case anyone wants to join, the 2nd round from Doha starts soon. https://www.clipmyhorse.tv/en_EU/live/7160/chi-al-shaqab

Bang! Second competition for :CRO Pavicic & Totem and the 70% barrier is broken - 72.132% ! :cheer:

Really impressive collection in piaffe, pirouettes and half passes. Sure, flying changes are pretty green (4.5 average today), but they are work in progress.

 

Looking forward to seeing these two represent us at future championships and Olympics. If all goes well, I am expecting them to start at the World Games next year. :pope:

FEI cancells all competition in Europe through March 28 due to EHV-1 (Equine Herpes Virus) outbreak in Spain. :hairpull:

 

This heavily disrupts plans of everyone aiming to obtain MERs (including the likes of Fouaad Mirza for example...).
