Day one of the dressage phase is officially concluded, and we still have much more to come tomorrow! Unluckily for Jenni and Leslie, there is too much mud, not enough food, and the bathrooms are locked at 7pm. However, as you can see above, Ginny Juice is keeping a sharp eye on Shamwari warming up for dressage, as both of them compete tomorrow as the anchors for their respective teams. Our results were pretty awesome today, and despite the weather and the terrible hospitality, the spirits are high, and Team USA is doing well. Let’s check out what everyone has been putting on social.
Also, you guys should check out Normandy on Pinterest. It’s pretty sweet. [Normandy on Pinterest]
Ugh, how many times can I swoon in one day? When these two are involved, the answer is a lot.

Fun fact: WEG 2014 marks 36 years since Sir Mark Todd’s first championships. The first was in 1978 in Kentucky.

What’s Selena up to, you ask? Just casually hanging out in the ditch and brush on cross country. Note: Selena is not a midget, despite what she might look like in this photo.

Jessica Phoenix did a great job with Pavarotti today, getting a lovely test out of him for a 50.2. But seriously, lets talk about those quarter marks, aren’t they impressive?
