EEEEEEEEEE!!!: The Sequel

The individual show jumping is on today, and Eric Lamaze of Canada is tied with a Swede for the gold! They're going to a jump off. There's a seven-way tie for the bronze, so there's a jump off for that too.

Sadly, Ian Millar had two jumps down in the first round, so he's out of it. Jill Henselwood had two knockdowns--the second one pretty much demolished the jump--and a refusal. She withdrew without finishing the course.

I took the morning off work to watch this. :-) Go Eric!

ETA: He is ERIC THE GOLD!!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!! He had just a single rail down all Olympics--amazing!

I used to compete in hunter classes when I was in high school, and I have to say that nothing irked me more than riders who tossed their reins indifferently to their groom and walked away after finishing a course. My pony was my buddy, and why get into riding if you don't love having a relationship and being a team with your horse?
