Asked how Charlotte Dujardin motivates herself ‘now that she’s won everything’ she jokes “well, retirement is definitely in mind” #WEG2014 — Clare Balding (@clarebalding) August 29, 2014
Hey, Charlotte, you do you, boo.
Wanted to cry watching @CSJDujardin and Valegro at #WEG2014. Just amazing. #HistoryMade #TeamGB — VANESSA RYLE (@V_Binnie_Ryle) August 29, 2014
85% of Twitter included comments similar to this one. Well done, Charlotte DuJardin and Valegro, for bringing the world to its knees in awe! (The other 15% are getting themselves hyped up for cross-country tomorrow.)
I love this perspective, the team literally with all of their supporters behind them.
#WEG2014 Cross-Country has been brought forward to 10:00am (instead of 10:30am) & there will be 20 food trucks #eventinglive @normandie2014 — Horse Junkies United (@HorseJunkiesUtd) August 29, 2014
Well, the food truck part sounds like good news.
The original caption from German eventing groom Nadja Jansson: “Today I was quite happy with my tail :)” you go girl.
Messages of support are ALL over Facebook–I have to admit that the US eventers probably have the best online cheering squad.
Looking like a WEG advertisement–nice product placement, team Donner.
…what IS that…is that…SUNSHINE! And just in time to hopefully dry out the course for tomorrow’s cross-country!
And just in case anyone forgot about these guys, reining finals take place on Saturday for one last down-and-dirty session to settle individual medals.
But most important, guys, is that USA vaulter and Instagram-extraordinaire Mary McCormick appears to have at last found her people.
