WEG Driven Dressage

Much to my delight, you can watch the WEG on 2010 Altech FEI World Equestrian Games either in live streaming or recorded: http://www.usefnetwork.com

Isbrand Chardon's test was near perfection and Chester Weber's horses are near perfection. I did feel Chardon's test was more technically correct than Weber's, although the two men tied for first place, which has never happened at WEG. Watching the competition it is clear these two men are far beyond their fellow competitors in skill and quality of horses.

The European turnout is disappointing low, but that does not surprise me. In fact, it is typical of them, in my humble opinion. Which does not keep me from being a Europhile, but vexes me nonetheless.

Looking forward to the Marathon tommorrow. Try to catch some of it if you can.

Kind Regards.

For some excellent coverage on the driving competition, go to Jennifer Singleton's blog at the Carriage Association of America: http://carriageassociation.wordpress.com/

She has diagrams of the marathon obstacles, photos of presentation, which our very own Golden Boy Chester Weber won, with Jim Fairclough and Tucker Johnson finishing second and third respectively. A great start for Team USA, even though this is an optional phase of the competition and the scores do not count for the championship phase.

Weber drives dressage this afternoon with a score to beat of 35.97 by the reigning World Champion Isbrand Chardon of the Netherlands.

NBC is airing the Marathon on Sunday in their coverage of WEG beginning at 4pm, but check your local listings to make sure. I can guarantee it will be thrilling!
