“Leave the arena at a free walk on a long rein at A, while your mind races with post-test thoughts and emotions.” OK, that last part isn’t in the test, but it might as well be!

Samantha Clark has been catching riders on their way out of the Rolex main arena for exit interviews. Be sure to follow EN on Instagram (@goeventing) to watch the videos in real time as the competition unfolds.
