+ 10 faults for all the teams who unsportingly objected... !!
I'm not understanding this system at all... but am shocked at the pedantic actions of the other teams... Seems the equestrian events are tarring the name of the olympics what with travelling an unfit horse, and then suggesting another unfit horse should have been put in the ring in order to avoid disqualification.
Yep - I still cannot believe the way in which John and Peppermill have been penalised for putting safety and welfare first!! It seems ridiculous to me that had he gone into the ring and mocked up 2 refusals he would have been able to ride today. Totally nuts
