That photo looks like he has just some random arm laying there on the shelf. I find it very creepy actually.

First ever CDI (international dressage competition) in Lima and Peru itself.

 

One decent score, rest abysmal. One actually scored 49%.

No App for That

 

Hopefully, we'll see this horse at the Olympics one day. Very youthful and urban name.

Triple Swiss junior champion in dressage Leonie Guerra has changed allegiance to Liechtenstein.

 

She is in fact a born Liechstensteiner and lives in Schaan, but trains in Switzerland.

That was an impossible cross-country course at the final 4* of the season in Adelaide. Only 3/24 jumped clear.

FEI has announced the end of the World Equestrian Games. Still not a single viable candidate has been found for 2022, we're now going back to single world championships for the different disciplines.

 

Too bad for normally invisible disciplines like reining, but in general it's probably for the best to have world championships hosted by people who might not know about several disciplines, but do know a lot about one of them.
