Rio 2016: Biddies Be Like…

Where are the ‘Reins of Silk’!?!
This week’s comic is a retread from the last Olympics but I feel like it’s timeless in so many ways. 😉 Obviously, we all have our opinions and it’s fair to express and discuss them (sometimes they’re right on the money, in fact!) but I think we all know at least one individual who can’t ever say anything nice or who seems to think his/her insights are the gospel word despite their lack of experience in the matter. It’s those individuals who would take gold in this event.

Rio 2016: Phillip Dutton be like…

This week’s comic is for my eventing fans, particularly those who tuned in the last few days to watch some truly fabulous riding. Even if I’m a DQ these days I have to admit that I love watching talented pairs go cross country. Given that it’s the Olympics, it probably isn’t shocking that the course in Rio was challenging to say the least. One of the most spectacular moments for me was watching Phillip Dutton’s ride, particularly his riding at fence 6b, where he somehow managed to magic himself back into the saddle after Mighty Nice misunderstood the fence (AND keep Mighty Nice on course). If you missed it, you need to go back and watch. That was outstanding riding! Seriously, that man is a genius. Today it was followed by more of the same and Phillip and Mighty Nice went on to win the individual bronze.:D As a sort of tribute to that I’ve made this week’s comic….
