Carol Orwig (the one who filmed the victory lap) told me the video was shot with a really old video camera on a tripod hooked up to a car battery. As she said, imagine trying to get that all that into an Olympic stadium these days!

That is such an awesome video Mike. Seeing whats going wrong with Dressage Today, it is a nice thing to see. Thank you for sharing it!

How refreshing to see a horse so light, forward, and relaxed...while being ridden with one hand in a huge area of cheering people.

Beautiful to see.

Thanks !
