Saturday at Aachen World Equestrian Festival

So much to see. Brett Parbery and Victory Salute qualified for tomorrow's Freestyle. Here they are eagerly entering the stadium.


The eventing cross-country finished through the arena with five fences. There was loud cheering as the horses finished the course.


The dressage judges marks are displayed around the arena which makes for a wonderful 'judges clinic for spectators'. The Grand Prix Special ended with the brilliant Moorlands Totilas and Edward Gal.  I saw for myself why he marks in the 80s.  Fluent, relaxed, powerful and stunning - and I have the test on my video camera!

Then we watched some of the driving marathon. It was most exciting!


These horses did not panic. They just stood and waited. Luckily no-one was hurt and after righting the wheels away they went.







Australian Boyd Axell showed why he is the World Champion.


On our way back to the dressage stadium Victory Salute was being led around the large warm up area. He recognised his owner/breeder Carolyn Lieutenant and came straight over to her.
