That always makes me sound as if it's not about regular competition, but about who is the best at breeding a good horse I guess that's because there are a lot of stallions involved, especially in 5/6-year-old divisions. A lot of them never make it to the Olympics or something, but they usually have successful breeding careers. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted September 6, 2019 Author #116 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Still being butthurt I see. Ugh. What he says is not only insensitive, but just wrong. People getting hurt? Jamaican bobsled team?? There are minimum requirements for crying out loud, and having 75 riders from 35 nations is still much smaller representation compared to what we see at the World Championships (where nobody gets hurt, surprise surprise...). Also, someone ought to tell him that team jumping historically used to be held after individual jumping anyway. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted September 7, 2019 Author #117 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Burghley Horse Trials have started, today we have cross-country. Here is a live stream (blocked in GB and NZ). BBC is covering this event, so the production value is really high. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted September 7, 2019 #119 Share Posted September 7, 2019 My only concern with a 3 horse team is that it may turn the event into a lottery (especially in eventing) where winning a medal is more about out-lasting your opponents rather than being the best. In reality, it'll likely be more similar to relays in athletics where one, maybe two major contenders get disqualified, but that's part of the event.
