(34,189 posts)I now get my dressage and other equine event videos from YouTube. An amazing number are posted there all the time. NBC really has messed up their coverage from the first year they bought the Olympic coverage rights.
Many people don't have a clue about most horse related activities. Here, there is an international level three day event held once a year. On a regular basis someone complains to the newspaper about the coverage, the inconvenience and the cost to the community. This past spring the newspaper did a report on how many millions that one weekend a year brings into the community. Compared to the amount FSU football brings in for the season, the horse event is a bigger inflow of money for the amount it costs the community in policing and inconvenience.
