Well, technically it was in Wellington, Florida, of course, but thanks to the excellent livestream coverage from Chronicle of the Horse eventing fans were able to watch from around the globe. Commentator Dom Schramm was again very interactive with the livestream viewers via social media and asked folks to tweet in with where they were watching and what they were doing using #EventingShowcase.
Of course, there were viewers from right here in the USA and across North America, myself included:
