China, their first ever Chinese equestrian rider! I don't know much about dressage, admittedly, but this guys leg position is sort of weird... I think maybe he's too tall for the horse and can't give the aides properly?

POLAND! YAY!!!! In case you are wondering, you say the horse's name 'Varg'

CANADA!!!!

LOL!!!! It's not from official sites or anything, it's a private guy who is filming on his little hand held camcorder :-) He's not allowed to move from his seat to get better shots.
There seems to be a lot of shying and acting up at these games from what I have seen (we got two 5-min transmission of dressage tests yesterday...wheeee), I wonder what it is, you think horses at that level wouldn't really give a toss about cameras etc.
