Day 1 of Dressage

Yes, I took the halt pictures of all the competitors so far and will do so again today. They will have to serve as my conformation shots since there was no way to get such things at the FEI jog.

Nip Tuck (GBR) – That left hind fetlock looks a bit suspect to my eye.

The main stadium has covered seating, but the competition area is open to the sky. I wondered how many of the dressage horses had ever been out in the rain, never mind being ridden in that falling-from-the-sky stuff.

Pedro was dressed for the weather. Love the bug-eyed goggles!

Since I have learned my lesson regarding the jogs at this event, I am not attending the eventing jog on Wednesday and will be free to visit the Games Village with all of its exhibits and places to part with Euros. I shall have to rein myself in, if you will excuse the pun.
