The US has won its first individual dressage medal ever at the World Equestrian Games!  Congrats to Steffen Peters & Ravel for their bronze medal in the Grand Prix Special!!!  The podium was full of first times and records:

Gold: Edward Gal & Totilas, 85.708% (1st gold in the Special for the Netherlands)

Silver: Laura Bechtolsheimer, 81.708% (1st silver in the Special for Great Britain; their score was also a new British record)

Bronze: Steffen Peters, 78.542% (1st individual medal for the US)

Katherine Bateson-Chandler & Nartan finished 19th with 68.875%, and Tina Konyot & Calecto V finished 20th with 68.625%.  Congrats to everyone!  The Freestyle starts Friday night at 7:04 pm.  Steffen Peters rides next to last at 9:34 pm.

Team medals for the WEG have been awarded!  Gold goes to the Netherlands (despite Adelinde Cornelisson being eliminated when Parzival apparently bit his tongue) , Silver to Great Britain (!!!), and Bronze to Germany. 

The US team of Steffen Peters/Ravel, Tina Konyot/Calecto, Todd Fletrich/Otto, and Katherine Bateson-Chandler/Nartan, narrowly missed a medal and placed 4th.  :-/  For a team comprised mainly of rookies to the major-international scene, the team did admirably well!
