Horses and such...

As yall may have noticed from my handle, horses play an important part in my life.

Usually I'm not a big flagwaver, but I'm very happy to make an exception for our Dutch national show jumping team becoming world champion on the 2006 World Equestrian Games at Aachen (the "Wimbledon of Horses") ahead of a strong Team USA and the big favorite Germany. Great job guys and a great come back after the slump last year!

This is already the 2nd Gold Medal after winning the Dressage Kür by Anky van Grunsven.

How popular the equestrian sport has become is evident that the events draw crowds of 40-50.000 people!

Holland has something with Horses...

Edited : darn spelling and syntax...
