I have such bad Equestrian Olympic Withdrawals...

That I have borrowed the dvd of Athens Olympic eventing from Dr Weevil and am thoroughly enjoying my first friday night off in ages relaxing and watching it!

Love seeing some classic horses in action!

How sad am I?!

Nah, not sad - I nearly ordered the Athens showjumping DVD this morning!

I have the Atlanta Eventing Video here!

LOL! It's worth it just to see Over to You in action!

Watch this for Olympic riding. This has made me realise my horse is actually OK!

Edited to say - I have only seen this video clip not the full event which from reading earlier posts doesn't sound great. This just made me realise I am reasonably lucky with my horse after all.

Given how much running, cycling and riding I do, I am seriously considering taking up pentathlon!!

The uni team did try to recruit me - maybe I should take it up....

Is there anyone who competes who can save me a fruitless google and tell me some more about it??

Distances & timing per element, scoring, are all elements of equal importance? I really know v little about the sport! Would appreciate more info
