WEG Social Media Corral: Let the Games Begin!

Reining and dressage took the stage today–but there’s plenty going on behind the scenes too at the WEG. We’ll bring you the best of social media daily!

It’s a bit rainy in Caen–which is of no importance to the indoor reining, but much less fun for the outdoor dressage!

OK so maybe it’s REALLY rainy in Caen.

Because this is now your new favorite image from the WEG.

If there’s a carrot shortage in France this winter, we’ll know exactly why.

Go Jordan Larson and HF Mobster of Team USA reining!

Apparently this is a thing now.

No one photo-bombs an interview better than Australian dressage horse Sandro Boy.

Looks like the mounted police found the perfect way to creep on watch the Games.

Snazzy.

No social-media roundup would be complete without more airborne antics from USA vaulter Mary McCormick.

Even in the rain, it’s still a beautiful thing.
