      How many athletes are going to get down there, take one look at this apparently literal sh*thole, and just flat-out refuse to participate and withdraw? Or is a chance at a gold medal and the fame/endorsement $$$ that go with it so great that it offsets the risks?

                      I can't wait to hear him talk about each minor league or junior circuit each horse grew up playing in.

                      Or how he knows each horses hometown and parents first names.

                              You're the only one here who could even accurately describe WTH dressage even is, let alone care about it.

                                I found myself watching dressage over the last three olympics. I have no idea why. At first it was funny. Then it was interesting.
