A “rest day” between cross country and stadium jumping is certainly an … unusual situation, to say the least. We’ve heard some mixed feelings from the riders about the rescheduling of show jumping to Monday, and it will indeed be interesting to see what, if any, effect it may have on the horses and riders. As for today, it gave some competitors some extra time to reflect on their rides yesterday, for better or for worse:
There was one thing still on the agenda for today, however. The competitors, journalists, and some very intrepid spectators braved the rain and ventured to a very soggy final horse inspection:
If everyone can picture a drenched reporter desperately clutching an iPhone and hyperventilating in the middle of a hurricane, that’s a pretty accurate representation of my current status #Tryon2018 #wegnado

But we’ve said it once and we’ll say it a thousand more times: eventers are a hardy bunch. There’s one phase left yet, a job still to do, and the show will go on.
