It looks like Boyd is all settled in at Pau, and, as usual, he has already found the cafeteria. I got an email from Boyd earlier today and he said that he had gotten a sneak peak at the Pau course and that it reminded him a lot of Adelaide–twisty, technical, and flat. He said that the seating was set very close to the dressage and show jumping so there will be a lot of atmosphere. Boyd also said that he had a chance to check out the town of Pau and did see any riots–just lots of well dressed European people talking in a weird language. The jog is tomorrow and Boyd rides dressage late on Friday. Thanks for keeping us updated Boyd and don’t let anyone run you over with a bicycle.
In other news, the FEI just released a free prohibited substances iPhone app. It comes with a photo of Princess Haya shaking her finger at you if it thinks you are using Bute, and it randomly disqualifies US users for hypersensitivity if they are winning WC competitions.
Talk about discouraging the run-out: 
Go eventing.
