kicking bobble heads everywhere, I know it's only one phase of a three phase competition. I'd just really like to see a quiet effective rider. I'd expect them to be getting at least mid 30's in this level of test given it's a world competition.

Agreed, the bobble heads are quite comical though!! The kicking less so. I've not been very impressed thus far by the standards of these riders. I understand that the best riders are generally saved for later it seems, but still, this is the Olympics! I've seen some eventers in my region that seem to give a far nicer picture than some of these are.
 
look at the where it's rubber it's left hip, must have been travelling? why are her toes sticking out at right angles to the horse....???
 
He's not as strong as he was, but he's using his experience to hold it together . . . that and the partnership . . . this is a nice test, but it's not the best I've seen William do.
