Natasha Baker fell off her horse after it spooked at judge. It looked really bad, but thankfully she seems to be alright.

Waterdrops freestyle of the Swiss squad is something else. Too bad it wasn't mistake-free like in the Nations Cup event.

Squad Vaulting

Germany - 8.638

Switzerland - 8.433
Austria - 8.198

 

Two perfect predictions in vaulting today.

 

So, only individual jumping and driving left on the final day of probably last ever World Equestrian Games.

And for good measure, here is the waterdrops rountine from earlier this year.

Why is it the last ever?

Because the 2022 host should have been decided last year really, and yet there are still no bidders despite prolonged application period.

Seems like they are having a real hard time finding bidders. Bromont also withdrew as the 2018 host.

 

They should probably look at cutting the events at the WEG to Olympic and Paralympic events (plus whatever the host is interested in holding).

I'd rather just have separate World championships if it comes to that, just like it was before 1990. WEG is like the Olympics for athletes of vaulting, reining, driving and endurance, so it would be a great shame to have it without them.
