Hello guys! It's time for the summer olympics, I can hardly wait to cheer for the Dressage team for the United States. Go USA team!

I'm watching the eventing dressage live (on web-tv) right now. :) I'm of course rooting for the Swedish team, but may the best one win!

My horse's sire, Bocelli, made it to the Olympic dressage team, but only as a reserve, so I won't see him compete unless another horse or rider backs out.

Did any one else see the cross country/terrain part? It was maddeningly suspenseful.

Yes a beautiful location but the track was obviously slippery - poor Aussie's their bad luck continues with two falls therefore two eliminations. What brave horses though as that course was awesome!

Watching the Cross Country course was a bit nerve wracking! The riders have got pretty cool equipment, when they fall their vest inflates to cushion the fall. Cool invention wonder where you get one of those?

Congratulations, Germany, to the gold medal - team and individual!!!
Sweden got an individual silver medal and came fourth in team, so I am very happy for that. :)

Oh I want one of those inflatable vests too! I think I saw one at Lammle's (in Canada) for $600 or so.
