Centerline
Goes to the Olympics: Day 9: The Color Orange Riderless Horse
Rafael Soto Rafael and Invasor were back in their favorite element in the kur. He ended riding up the centerline slowly raising his right arm for applause not disappointing the crowd who go wild for his showmanship. He rode to his trademark Spanish Music and was technically correct with technical scores ranging from 7.450 to 7.800. I am sure he was pleased with his averaged score of 79.025 to finish 8th overall.   |

In
came Martin Schaudt on Weltall the Weltmeyer offspring who is the youngest
competitor at this Olympics. For a moment it looked as if Schaudt was
going to have the opportunity to control the ride but this year it was
just too distracting for the young horse. I will tell you that this
horse has the highest piaffe and passage and with excellent transitions
that I have ever seen in my life so far. Basically Schaudt's planned
choreography fell apart but what he was able to present showed the God-given
talent of this horse. The score for raw talent at the Olympics? 69.656.
Imagine the score once he is trained!!!
