This newly-launched retraining and rehoming organization finds fresh careers for Thoroughbreds once they hang up their racing shoes.

Katie Larsen's rehoming business has hit its stride, helping former track stars embark upon the next chapters of their lives.

The Individual Final was super-exciting, and once again it was a Brazilian, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli aboard the brilliant mare Sirene de La Motte, who snatched the gold medal (which seems to be a running theme at these Games). The silver was won not by the USA or Mexico, which you might expect, but by Argentinian José María Larocca riding Finn Lente, much to the delight of the fans waving the blue-and-white. Beezie Madden of the US snagged the bronze with Breitling LS thank goodness so that North America was represented on the podium.
