@FranJurga writes: This will be veterinarian Dr. Brendan Furlong’s fifth and last Olympic Games. In this Q and A with USEF's Joanie Morris, he recalls some memorable moments in his time with the US eventing team.


Dr Furlong cleared one big hurdle this morning when Team USA's horses cleared the first veterinary inspection. But that's just the first of many hurdles to come over the next four days.


Congratulations to Dr. Furlong, and thanks!

Olympic Stadium: Greenwich Park uses demountable buildings for the 2012 Equestrian Olympics | Gardenvisit.com | Fran Jurga: Equestrian Sport News | Scoop.it

Andre Le Notre was the greatest landscape architect of the seventeenth century and he only designed one project in England. It was the parterre in front of the Queen’s House in Greenwich and it was selected as the best place to build a stadium for the 2012 equestrian olympics. This shows no regard for conservation and, if it had to be done, there should have been a full archaeological investigation and a full restoration plan for the surviving earthworks. They are not being damaged but nor is there any restoration plan.

@FranJurga writes: It's been two years since Greenwich Park was selected as the site of the equestrian events at the London 2012 Olympic Games. But the critiques of the plan continue on how the dressage, jumping and eventing on the hallowed ground of one of London's Royal Parks should be handled--or should have been.
