Olympics Showjumping (Qualifying)

Anneliese went out to Horsley Park for the Qualifying round of the Olympics Individual Showjumping. It was a bit of a grey day, but she took some photos anyway, and here they are.

 Here's a photo showing the course, with an unnamed rider going over a jump in the foreground. This course is different to the one used for the final round.
This is a more general photo showing the jumps and the arena (and the glowering skies!)

 Behind the main arena is the warm-up ring.
Here's a photo of someone going over a jump - Anneliese is fairly certain that the rider is British, but she can't be sure!

 And this is definitely John Whitaker on Calvaro going over the water jump!
