Dressage, Para-Dressage, Endurance, Eventing and Reining are complete, medal ceremonies and all. That leaves Jumping, Driving and Vaulting.

The show jumpers had their FEI jog in front of the veterinary panel this morning (the reason I did not go shopping at the Games Village) and start their competition with a speed class on Tuesday.

Today I took action shots of the jumping phase of eventing and scored an interview with Clayton Fredricks, who is coaching the Canadian team. I guilted him into it a bit since his website uses one of my conformation articles (Ben Along Time) to promote his great eye for a horse.

Tomorrow, September 1st, is a non-competitive day, but, unfortunately the Games Village, where all the shopping is, will also be closed. Logical? Maybe not.

Guess how many journalists and photographers are going to sleep in. Oh, and all the volunteers get a day off, which is probably why the Village will be closed.

As for me, I think I might head over to the main arena and try to get a few interviews with jumpers as it is their familiarization day in the big ring and they will likely be more relaxed and have a bit of time. I hope security is working so I can get into the venue.
