Photo Gallery: A Thrilling WEG Show Jumping Finale

The FEI World Equestrian Games is one of those events that seems to move both fast and slow. The days are long and emotional, yet it seems like only a few blinks ago that we were anticipating the competition ahead during the first horse inspection. A tumultuous week culminated in a thrilling finale today at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Standing ringside, the butterflies gradually increased to a barely tolerable level until it was just too much, and I couldn’t help but cheer behind the camera while madly clicking the shutter button. What a week. What a sport! Go Eventing.
