Great photos! I didn't realise Mark Todd was still competeing! By the way, what happened when they had to take that jump off the course? The one that Mark Todd broke, haha. Did those who rode after him have to go over a different jump? It just seems an unfair advantage otherwise, having one less jump on the course!

Mark Todd had retired a few years ago to train race horses but he made a come-back this year and so is back competing again.

When that fence was taken out of use they took 2 seconds off everyone's time who'd finished the course but had jumped that fence. Its just the way it goes in eventing. You just have to suck it up if you were eliminated because of that fence too! Don't think anyone was eliminated at that fence.
