If you are not an FEI TV subscriber, the FEI Channel and Universal Sports are doing a wonderful job of providing highlights and a look behind the scenes at WEG this year. It helps those of us who are stuck at home to feel more in the loop, so many thanks to the FEI and Universal Sports for helping us be even less productive at work than we already were!
We shared episodes one through four of the Behind the Scenes show hosted by Julie Labailly, and now Julie is back with more adventures in Caen. In the latest episode, Julie goes looking for the perfect reining outfit to cheer on the reining fans. Lesson learned? Always wear a cowboy hat!
We also learn how to properly cheer like a true reining fan – trust me, I want to check out one of these competitions simply for that reason!
Also shared on the FEI Channel yesterday were highlights from day two of competition. Be sure to tune in for scenes from Team USA’s gold medal winning runs, as well as from Charlotte Dujardin’s winning Grand Prix ride in the dressage.
Universal Sports has some more highlights from Team USA’s reining triumph yesterday. Anyone getting a hankering to pick up reining after watching this a few times?
Germany once again has stamped themselves firmly as a powerhouse in the dressage world, taking home team gold despite the best efforts of Great Britain and Charlotte Dujardin. Now, the question is, can we beat them in eventing?
Today, dressage riders will move on to the Individual Grand Prix Special, while the Para-Dressage riders will contest the second round of team and individual competition. Stay tuned for much more from France, including a recap of the first horse inspection for the eventing horses!
