The Horse Show: S6E7 - Olympic Review with Sara Kozumplik Murphy

Eventer and coach Sara Kozumplik Murphy joins Chris this week to review the Olympic events so far with just the team jumping medals to be contested in the closing stages of the Tokyo Games. First Sara shares her impressions of the dressage in which women occupied the top five places with Germany’s Jessica von Bedahl Wendl (TSF Dalera) taking gold ahead of the legend that is Isabell Werth. Isabell announced after that her partner Bella Rose would be retired after these games. And in the team competition it was USA (7747) with two women; Adrienne Lyle and Sabina Shut Kerry (Sancero) who won the silver medal beating GB (7723) by the narrowest of margins. Eventing saw historu being made when Germany’s Julia Krajewski (Amande De B’Neville) claimed the gold medal. Hard to imagine with so many great women riders that this is a first in eventing. As we discuss, the facilities for the horses at these games has been fabulous by all reports because we knew the heat and humidity would be challenging and their welfare is paramount.
