Olympic Sidelines – Show Jumpers From 26 Countries Compete on Day 1
Monday, August 06 2012
August 4,2012 By Kim MacMillan – Photo Captions by Allen MacMillan All Photos by Kim & Allen MacMillan/MacMillan Photography/Copyright 2012 The discipline of show jumping is the most popular of the three equestrian sports in terms of entries, and with the public as well, as the grandstands were nearly full today – FINALLY! It is maddening, however, that there are still a number of open seats several places in the stands and yet no one can find tickets available for purchase. What I call the “Royal Box” (where Princess Anne and her nephews William and Harry and Williams’ wife Kate sat during eventing and also some members of the Swedish Royal family during dressage) is a section of roughly 200 seats in the center of the west side of the stadium and it is never full

Sunday, August 05 2012
August 3, 2012 By Kim MacMillan – Photo Captions by Allen MacMillan All Photos by Allen and Kim MacMillan/MacMillan Photography, Copyright 2012 I walked briskly to Greenwich Park this morning eager to see the next few riders for each team on day 2 of the Grand Prix dressage competition. It was sunny to start with, but rain was promised again mid-day and the weather man wasn’t wrong. Although the rain started just as Edward Gal of the Netherlands was finishing his test on Undercover and it rained only during the 15-minute arena maintenance break.

Olympic Sidelines – Dressage Invades the Stadium!
Sunday, August 05 2012
August 2, 2012 by Kim MacMillan – Photo Captions by Allen MacMillan All photos by Kim & Allen MacMillan/MacMillan Photography, Copyright 2012 As the eventers left center stage the dressage horses moved forward to take up the torch (Olympic pun intended). The day dawned sunny, with a threat of rain (and it did indeed rain fairly hard on and off for about an hour) in the middle of the day, which sadly may have contributed to an eliminated horse and rider from Canada – more later
