CDJ withdrawn from paris

Is it? That's interesting. I was thinking that given the FEI's propensity to argue the toss over every little thing (eg we must do research to find out if blue tongues = pain, otherwise we carry on as usual) that they would consider it infringing on the rider's freedoms to actually examine the horses

Possibly, but how far on is it from tack checks? It wasn't that long ago that checking if your horse's noseband was cutting off its circulation was considered an unwelcome interference.

I know it is highly unlikely to happen. About as likely as the Olympic selection committee picking me for a team. Unless there's a chocolate-eating sport?
