Burghley Dressage Arena -- Completely Untrod Upon (courtesy of the great Allie Conrad)
Well, all the excitement across the pond is over for today, but it’s still mid-afternoon for us in the US, so we must satisfy ourselves with a collection of links, analysis articles, twitter feeds and photos from those lucky individuals who are right in the action. Thankfully for you guys, I’m here to troll the internet for all the most informative and most hilarious links you could possibly find. Enjoy!
