Original caption “Say hi to the media bus. It took 3 hours instead of 1.5 to get out of the eventing.” Ho boy…sounds like fun.

This comparison proved both popular and accurate as the day wore on.

Thoughts are with @Harry_Meade and his team at this sad time. #WildLone #WEG2014

HN shares this sentiment: rest in peace, Wild Lone.

Boyd Martin, the proclaimed “bright spot for US eventing” today.

Team Canada’s Jessie Phoenix and Pavarotti at a particularly photogenic part of XC.

I don’t think any other discipline can beat the Reining crowd for enthusiasm 🙂 #WEG2014

I think some eventers could challenge this statement, but you’re probably right.

Mandy McCutcheon–proving that you don’t need to be a cowboy OR a professional to be a big-timer in reining!

A three-medal SWEEP for USA reining in the individual finals!

Which allowed these shenanigans to happen.

And if you haven’t had enough WEG yet (and we hope you haven’t), guess who just arrived on the scene in France…
