dcro 10,172 Posted March 12, 2021 Author #21 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Cancellation of all European events has been extended to April 11, at the earliest, due to the Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1, neurological form) outbreak. The outbreak is getting out of hand with more and more stables reporting positives despite not having obvious contacts... Basically, everyone still chasing minimum requirements for the Olympics is screwed. https://inside.fei.org/content/fei-extends-shutdown-international-events-mainland-europe-due-ehv-1-outbreak-0 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted April 4, 2021 Author #24 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Damn... Karen Pavicic & Totem were going so well! They just needed their usual 7.7+ piaffe on the final centerline, but a break in the rhythm left them with an average of 7.3 and the final score of 71.315%. Unfortunately, this piaffe error was enough to prevent a podium finish in the Lovsta Future Challenge Finals. 5th place, only some 0.4% off the bronze. https://results.equestrian-hub.com/show/552/dressage/30323 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted April 22, 2021 Author #29 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Interesting first session. Shout-out to Karl Slezak. He messed up all four flying changes, as probably expected, but really nailed everything else. Well done! This is the kind of test that has Olympic selection written all over it, provided he delivers in his preferred jumping phases. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
