Equestrianism at the Wenlock Olympian Games

I had a wonderful time at the 125th Wenlock Olympian Games in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, and I will write plenty more about it in due course.  However, I was most disappointed to see that the equestrian events took place in Broseley.  It doesn't matter so much for the show-jumping or the cross-country, but just a few miles north-northwest of Much Wenlock is a village that is simply crying out to host the third discipline of the sport.

And why is that, exactly?  Because then the Olympian Games would be able to boast that they hold the dressage in Cressage.


(At moments of excitement, the supporters would also be able to shout out the phrase "Christ's Oak!" with impunity.)
