London 2012 Day 7 - Greenwich Park

Today was the second day of the individual and team dressage Grand Prix and my team was manning the stands all day.

I had already been impressed by the skill involved involved in the dressage part of the eventing, but what I saw today was on a whole other level. How on earth you train a horse to dance and skip like they were doing today is beyond me.

Today I also got to see my first Olympic record being broken. Charlotte Dujardin from Team GB smashed the Olympic Grand Prix dressage record, scoring 83.7. This has put Britain in gold team medal position. It's a shame that I wasn't filming, because the crowd was ecstatic and the noise they made must have carried right across the river.

Here's a photo of a very happy Charlotte Dujardin, just after her round:

Tomorrow, it's time for team and individual jumping.
