dcro 10,172 Posted February 11, 2021 Author #11 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Best Weekend All Year is back on thanks to donations from the eventing community, making it possible to run without spectators. Spectators are of course an important part of the BWAY, but at least it is something. up and down 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted February 12, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Rich Fellers (WC champion, London Olympian) becomes the latest American equestrian to be suspended by SafeSport over "Allegations of Misconduct". SafeSport really does have an excellent track record. Their last victim was Bob McDonald, who was suspended, had his name driven through mud, got ostracized by the equestrian community... Only to have the allegations dropped and everything reinstated. You know, guilty until proven innocent. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted February 22, 2021 Author #13 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Karen Pavicic & Totem getting an 8.5 (!) for a piaffe on essentially what was their big tour debut... I am hyped. https://results.equestrian-hub.com/show/747/12066 OlympicIRL 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted February 27, 2021 Author #14 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Nicolas Wagner takes a nice victory in Doha, only to have the TV director display the Dutch flag for the victory ceremony. Well, at least they got the anthem right. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted February 27, 2021 Author #15 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Feels SO good to be watching live jumping again. It's been over a year I think. In case anyone wants to join, the 2nd round from Doha starts soon. https://www.clipmyhorse.tv/en_EU/live/7160/chi-al-shaqab thepharoah and mrv86 1 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted February 27, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Ahlmann wins as a trailblazer. How about Kukuk & Mumbai? The hype is real! #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted February 28, 2021 Author #18 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Bang! Second competition for Pavicic & Totem and the 70% barrier is broken - 72.132% ! Really impressive collection in piaffe, pirouettes and half passes. Sure, flying changes are pretty green (4.5 average today), but they are work in progress. Looking forward to seeing these two represent us at future championships and Olympics. If all goes well, I am expecting them to start at the World Games next year. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted March 2, 2021 Author #19 Share Posted March 2, 2021 FEI cancells all competition in Europe through March 28 due to EHV-1 (Equine Herpes Virus) outbreak in Spain. This heavily disrupts plans of everyone aiming to obtain MERs (including the likes of Fouaad Mirza for example...). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
