Olympic Sidelines – Show Jumpers From 26 Countries Compete on Day 1
Monday, August 06 2012

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 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).
