Dr. Dietrich Plewa, FEI 5* five-star judge: “With Totilas, whom I was able to observe from the very beginning of his career, I first associate the concept of a talent of the century, especially for the collective lessons piaffe, passage, pirouettes. On the other hand, my impression of him has always been a bit ambiguous, because with all the expression and all the passion that the horse has brought, and an almost limitless willingness to perform, there was always a bit of a circus in his ideas. As for the sport of dressage, it has certainly contributed to its popularity. Here too, the feeling is unfortunately a bit ambivalent because the rumored price fostered the idea that dressage is something very strange that happens in some elite circles.”

Ah, the good old censorship.

Has Kyrgyzstan improved, or are they milking the absence of others?

How did they prove it? Some track distance whistleblower?

Born in Nigeria, raised in Kenya, has Canadian parents, but represents the home country of her husband proudly (as in, speaks fluent Spanish and all).

Yvonne Losos de Muniz and Aquamarijn won the first North American League event with a new Latin American record of 79.625%. Love the dramatic score. Most of all the part starting around 4:30... https://www.facebook.com/167935076628405/posts/3525228330899046/

Excellent performance for Beauvais.

3+13 could be in ballpark for the worst Lithuanian shooting ever. And that is not counting Linas Banys.

Whatever happened to Latvian? Losing over a minute after shooting 3 and before shooting 4.

Oh well. At least Hochfilzen is now behind Team Lithuania. Or not...

Aaand podium for Poland. Ahead of Italy, Latvia and Russia.

Poland

Pretty sure Slovenia has points actually.

Make that 0/10 !!

Already seen this film. Aparjode will finish either 6th or 13th.

Technical events -> postponed Speed events -> cancelled

'Televised' means high production value with commentary. Using backyard webcams like in Winterberg is not the same.

And yet Norway, France and Japan have their tracks and yet virtually no teams.

Or just learn shooting.

Points (yes, plural!) for Guzik.

"No excuse from making two excuses... mistakes."

Any chance we see the Lithuanian women's relay this season?Unexpected comebacks from Rasimoviciute and Paulauskaite, perhaps?
