Well, last year they won a bronze at the Europeans (after Krajewski tested positive), so it's not exactly always. But it was somewhat frustrating day for them indeed. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect nothing from Brecciaroli, probability his mentality status wasn't the best. Arianna is just Arianna.. what do you want?

EselTheDonkey 719 Posted September 15, 2018 #387 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) If there's a free program in Dressage on Monday, Germany will not take part, and so will probably many other countries, including the hosts: https://www.reiterrevue.de/news/sport/die-chaos-spiele-gehen-weiter-auch-fuer-die-dressur-9798184.html The article is in German, but here's the summary: European teams have booked their flights back to Europe on Monday. They don't want to risk having their horses go to a difficult competition first. According to this, the federations proposed a few days ago to have the final competition take place in a hall on Sunday. But the organizers weren't interested enough and now it's too late. According to the article, most federations have complete understanding for the German decision and/or plan to do the same. The Brits won't take part either. And the US federation agrees as well and plans to withdraw their horses out of solidarity. Tomorrow, the federations will propose to cancel the planned free program.

Apparently the cancellation is already confirmed...http://dressage-news.com/2018/09/15/world-equestrian-games-dressage-freestyle-off/ Unbelieveable, already third cancelled competition of this WEG. mrv86 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently she knew nothing about horses, but got inspired after seeing a picture of Karen O'Connor jumping a water fence. Today she is competing at WEG with Karen as her coach. I didn't knew that story... wow it's quite interesting. Sadly, besides football, "sport journalists" don't care about other competitors and their stories.
