FEI Dressage
FEI Dressage: "Belgium's sole representative Jeroen Devroe had the crowd in uproar when he rode Paganini into the arena carrying his whip. The luckless rider didn't hear the warning shouts and incurred elimination, but Ground Jury President Mariette Withages allowed the pair to perform for the home crowd anyway. It was particularly bad luck, as from January 1st a new rule states that riders will have to leave their whips in the collecting ring anyway!"
