[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 1052527, member: 70842"] Speaking as someone who is educated with Horse riding, it was very bad from what I saw haven't seen it all though. I don't know the history of the horse nor how they pick the horses. But IMO it's a flawed event really, and gives Show jumping a bad look. Some of the riders can't see a stride and bury their horse into the fence, the talented horses will bail them out. You just need to look at the riding positions and style between the professional show jumpers and Modern Pentathlon. I guess that's the issue with having so many different events. They would at least be better off letting them ride the horses before the event though. [/QUOTE]
