TV ( pay channels) have it on here in Australia, so I can watch if I am at a pub when it is on.<br />Good to know that the "old" fellow won.<br />Not quite sure what Olympics but Australia won the team event and the Captain of the team was in his 80's and competed in the final round with a broken arm. I think that shows "true grit". I think it was the Rome Olympics???Huggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-22834858049046908572014-09-16T20:12:32.863-06:002014-09-16T20:12:32.863-06:00MY opinion is you haven't missed anything by n...MY opinion is you haven't missed anything by not riding a horse!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-34818450195749160772014-09-16T20:07:44.520-06:002014-09-16T20:07:44.520-06:00I've been there quite a few times.
