The thread of all Olympic Threads

Can't see any formal E yet, it probably has to be the outcome unfotunately, but gutting for the Italian, he didn't do anything to deserve that. Rules is rules though and we are under the microscope,
 
@SAS56 the reserve in isn’t automatic - it’s a formal change at the team’s request. Whether elimination for blood counts as a substitution reason I don’t know.
 
What a shame it looked a lovely test but given the climate there can be no doubt about compromising welfare.
 
Have the rules changed on nosenets? This french horse wearing one - they were always banned in the dressage?

Edit - just looked it up and now permitted in the dressage!
 
They’re allowed in eventing dressage.

Out of interest do you know when the rule changed?
Riders will be pleased, the 5* headshaker horse was a right palava when they were banned - that was a good 5 years ago though and I haven't had any need to use one since then!
 
Oooh nice to see an Anglo-Arab about, just wish the frame could be a bit more open.

Edit: I'm taking that back. The extended canter was gorgeous.

My head is telling me last year? But I’ve been confused since 2020 about what year we’re even in 😂
