Started with getting up at 6:30pm and working the morning shift, then found out the final of the stadium jumping was on tonight at 8pm, so worked the afternoon shift as well. Hung out with Shannon and got some hot chips for dinner then went and found a good spot in the stadium. We weren’t sure if they were going to let us in with our passes but they did! It was a case of the final 4 riders having to jump their own horse, then each of the other finalist’s horses over the same course, with only 3 minutes to get used to them. It was very exciting to watch! The event was won by Belgium, Saudi Arabia second and Canada third. The Canadian’s horse won the “best horse” prize for going clear every time. Didn’t get home til nearly midnight but it was very worth it.
