All the dressage has finally wrapped up, and what better way to keep in touch with the happenings at Luhmülen than stalking perusing the Twitter feeds and the photos on Facebook? As your resident collector of social media, let me entertain and delight you with some behind-the-scenes action from Germany.
If you haven’t already, you should probably like Michael Jung on Facebook, because despite the fact that you can’t understand anything that he writes, he posts lots of photos from the competition as well as himself posing on cross country jumps, and pics of Sam who is there visiting for the weekend!
Our Eventing Nation Instagram could easily be mistaken for a Chinchilla enthusiast account, but we swear it’s about horses and eventing. You should probably follow us, because it’s hilarious to watch the Chinch in a million different poses with lots of famous people.
Joanie Morris, USEF Managing Director of Eventing, Organizer Extraordinaire, Baggage Losing Champion of the World and Overall Superwoman, keeps us up to date with photos from the barn. Here is Happy looking pleased with himself for his performance in the dressage, a personal best of 46! Check out the USEF High Performance Facebook page for more photos.
Woah woah wait a second. Wait. A. Second. Luhmuhlen gives out horse shaped cookies???!! I can’t even right now.
Many of you already felt I had one of the best #eventinglive jobs before you knew about the @luhmuehlen2014 cookies! pic.twitter.com/O9MckLMSIV

Two things: Jenni Autry is allowed to drive herself out alone in Germany (watch out), and it is also that light at 10 p.m.? What is that about!?
Still this light out after 10 p.m. #Germany#craypic.twitter.com/SartZXpFfj

For a minute, I was like, “Hey, I should totally check out Lucinda Fredericks’ Twitter, because she’s leading the pack after dressage and she should have a cool update!” Nope, instead she posted a video of a cat. Doing dressage.
It appears dressage isn’t limited to horses, check out this cat 🙂 http://t.co/mWRlwQuFSa

John Kyle has got our backs though, because he does an awesome dressage wrap up video for the FEI. All of the top 12 riders have won an international three-day in their career, and over 50 percent of them have won a CCI4*. Pretty neat! Check out his interviews below.

Who dat? Can you guess the names of the tiny heads on the other side of this jump? Clue: they are all associated with a guy whose name rhymes with Lloyd Barton.
