A super day of FEI cross-country saw two leaders retain their places going into show jumping, while the standings in three divisions got shaken and stirred. The course was the final one to be designed by the legendary Ian Stark. He had high praise for Rebecca Farm on every level and especially for the footing this year. His parting gift to riders and horses was plenty of challenges and options regarding striding and tracks. Ian urges all to ride the horse they have in the moment and to maintain balance. His courses rewarded those who embraced that.

Well, we, the greater equestrian sport, are not off to a great start in terms of social license ahead of the Olympics this weekend. In case you missed it, yesterday the horse world was rocked with the news of Charlotte Dujardin’s withdrawal from this Olympic Games followed by her suspension from FEI and British Equestrian competition after a years-old video of her using training methods not in line with the FEI’s principles of horse welfare was submitted to the FEI. Of course, this news has hit mainstream media including the New York Times and The Guardian. And of course, this is not the kind of publicity that equestrian sport was hoping for ahead of taking the world stage once again.

He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.
