many rumors around the doped horses

Btw, this is how a real waterfalls fence looks like. Funnily enough, two riders competed both then and now.

There are no such rumors.

I guess this could quite easily be the last World Equestrian Games. Bromont withdrew from hosting, Tryon stepped in as late replacement, and really showed nothing that would inspire aspiring hosts. There are still no candidates for 2022 edition.

 

It's not all bad news, I guess with separate championships we could see more diverse countries hosting championships. Australia and New Zealand would finally be able to host a big eventing competition again.

Not sure if you're talking about dressage or eventing, so I'll do both.

 

In dressage, Brazil should be the favorite for the second spot, but their level is dropping, so Mexico and Argentina should definitely have a chance for a surprise.

 

In eventing it very much depends on how many teams qualify here. It's quite possible that none of the American teams will make it (USA has been anything but consistent over XC in recent years, even though they'll be very determined this time), in that case it will be USA and CAN as the favorites. If USA makes it, then it will be hard to beat CAN and BRA. Finally, if two teams make it here, then Ecuador will have a very good chance.

Thanks a lot for the answer.

No American clean sweep in reining this time. Belgium secures at least a bronze.

Gold for Belgium! Medal for Brazil!

 

Individual reining

Bernard Fonck - 227.0

Daniel Huss - 226.5

Joao Lacerda & Cade McCutcheon - 225.0

Actually it's not confirmed yet whether the bronze will be shared.

Look like there will be a run-off for the bronze.
