Day 3: Cross Country

Cross country tests a horse's endurance and trust in his rider as he's asked to negotiate 28 obstacles on a 3.5-mile course stretched out over rough terrain. At the end of day three, Germany's Ingrid Klimke and her horse Butts Abraxxas tied for first with Sweden's Sara Algotsson Ostholt and Wega.

I agree that they should show more of the Equestrian events in prime time. I just happen to catch some of the show jumping the other night. It wasn't even listed as being on.

I really wish they broadcasted the equestrian events! I feel like we're missing so much!
