In the first couple of days, they run all sort of sports that are not the 'big draws'. I happened to stumble on the Dressage (horses doing fancy footwork) and saw a German rider with a wonderful 14 year old horse doing a magnificent, amazing display of careful steps. I can see no obvious way she controlled the horse..it was as if after learning, the horse just did it all by rote. I'm sure there were tiny signals, but I suppose it was supposed to look that way.
...and this rider was supposed to be Germany's #2!
