What the Equestrian?


Is it just me or does anyone else think that Equestrian is the most RANDOM Olympic sport? I turned on the Olympics the other day to find a woman (who looked like a man) sitting on her horse in one of these funny little outfits and the horse was just walking. No jumping, no tricks... just walking in a half-circle. Oh, but then it got exciting--the CANTER. I think that Jerry Seinfeld's "swimming and strangle-a-guy" fits in the Summer Olympics much more than Equestrian. Plus, maybe then we'd get to see Michael Phelps win another gold medal.

There are a few sports in the olympics that you wonder how they became a sport. MacKinlay and I were confused the other day when we were watching some track and field events and the last hurdle was had water on the other side.
