The quietest hands - Sabine Schut-Kery riding Sanceo.

 

Yvonne Losos de Muniz made a massive improvement on her Rio performance - 59th -> 22nd

 

Larissa Pauluis honoring her late husband Greg

 

Chris von Martels and Eclips were the most underscored pair in my book

God French eventing can't catch a breath ?. Our best couple, Thomas Carlile and Birmane had to withdraw.

Reserve Karim Laghouag and Triton Fontaine will replace them.

Spain has activated a substitution. Jose Antonio Garcia Mena will ride Divina Royal instead of Sorento in the team final.

 

Thus he will become the first rider to compete on two different horses within one discipline at the single Olympics since Paris 1900.

If I understood the new rules correctly, there is no penalty for substitution in dressage?

Yes, no substitution penalties in dressage and jumping.

But only if humans change horse. Horses can’t change their stupid human.

Fendi T almost walking with the hind legs in passage. Typical "Dutch" horse, some would say.
