Not sure how I feel about Olympic equestrian events. Who is getting the grade, the horse or the rider?

Ever seen the German Ladies swim team? Talk about your equestrian events. The horse and the rider all rolled in to one.

Please, no horsey sounds. I'll be here all night.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
