Olympic Eventing Dressage Thread

I was there and it was fab. Not as hot as it may have looked, very intermittent sun, actually nice weather for riding.
Judges did seem to mark very enthusiastically first few tests then get tougher!
Mary King was fantastic and you could have heard a pin drop during her test.
We were one block back opposite A and didnt hear the baby so suspect horses didnt, must have been just by a microphone!
You can walk course anytime you like and it looks stunning, having been a real "what a stupid place to have it "person, admit to being totally wrong! Amazing views of the city from some of the jumps on the hill and from the main arena.
There were heaps of empty seats all day, can only assume it was corporate tickets not taken up, seems such a shame.
hats off to the military for doing a first class friendly and efficient job on the security.
If going TAKE FOOD, queues for outlets were horrendous and you would have to miss the dressage to wait and get served.
Drink a real issue, free water points but only 3! and queues were 30 minutes long!
take loo roll and hand gel as had run out of both by lunchtime.:)
 
I went to the Test Event last summer and they had the same problems with lack of water then!! I thought they might have learned from that?? Also, the same with the food?! Someone hasn't done their homework!

Good Luck to Team GBR tomorrow!
