In today’s era of cell phones, you knew someone would capture Michael Jung and Halunke’s incredible dressage ride. Thanks to tewdwrponygestuet, here is what a 28.6 looks like. (I don’t think I would have selected “La Cucaracha” for background music during such a performance…but I guess they like to mix things up in Sweden!)
Sadly, the video is not the mythical Michael Jung and Halunke FBW. While labeled as such, the video is actually Peter Thomsen and Horseware’s Cayenne. The pair had a very nice test to score 40.6, and are currently in 8th place after a couple time penalties on cross-country. Dark bay horses can be difficult to identify (especially from a shaky cell phone video) but Halunke can be noticed by his three white socks, which Cayenne does not have. (Thanks to Facebook commenter Dodo Over for alerting us to the error.)
