dcro 10,179 Posted July 24, 2019 Author #101 Share Posted July 24, 2019 So with one year to go FEI published some videos about the Olympic competition formats. No video for eventing though.. Probably because the new format is impossible to explain. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago we were cycling in the forests around my hometown, we got to Ermelo and suddenly passed this equestrian competition location. I think I had never been there before, but I kinda forgot how we got there If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

There could be national competitions though. heywoodu 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted August 4, 2019 Author #107 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Btw, 6-year olds final is in progress in Ermelo. If there is an equestrian competition I never watch, then that would be Young Horse World Championships, but alright. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,540 Posted August 4, 2019 #110 Share Posted August 4, 2019 What's the 'breeding' about? That always makes me sound as if it's not about regular competition, but about who is the best at breeding a good horse If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
