Sad news from Aachen

Him and Artic Soul in the same year is just too much. Both boys who have given us all so much pleasure watching them.

Awful. Honestly when will something get done about these over technical courses? Aachen looked ridiculously technical with related distances, skinnies, angles everywhere. Too many horses are being killed eventing, far more than used to so surely the problem lies in the modern courses.

Actually this just isn’t true from a statistics point of view. It’s just more visible and the numbers participating are greater.
