"Mopsie was a little too much on fire today. I thought right after the walk I had him, but he got more and more excited. The Olympic spirit was clearly there. But unfortunately that Olympic spirit wasn't on my side today."⁣
~ U.S. six-time Olympian Steffen Peters after his uncharacteristically poor performance aboard the 2008 KWPN gelding Suppenkasper today during the second day of Grand Prix dressage competition at the @Paris2024 Olympic Games⁣

The @paris2024 Olympic dressage competition came to an end today for the US contingent. Having lost its chance to advance in the team competition after @marcus.orlob on Jane was eliminated for blood on the mare’s leg during her Grand Prix test, the USA’s only hope was that @adrienne.lyle on Helix, Steffen Peters (@speters_dressage) on Suppenkasper, or both would qualify to participate in the individual medal, the Grand Prix Freestyle.

Unfortunately neither scored highly enough to qualify, and today, July 31, Peters and “Mopsie” – members of the silver-medal-winning team at Tokyo 2021 – put in an uncharacteristically poor performance that earned them a score of 66.491%.

After the test, Peters was at something of a loss to explain why the 18.1-hand KWPN gelding by Spielberg became so wired in the stadium. After all, he’s been in plenty of them before. But Mopsie did, and Peters was barely able to keep him from jigging in the walk work. The nail in the coffin, as it were, was the final piaffe-passage tour down center line, during which Mopsie appeared to get “stuck” in the piaffe and for an agonizing moment didn’t proceed forward into passage at all.

Those who have watched Mopsie over the years know that the horse can actually bring his hind legs too far underneath himself in the piaffe. Peters knows from experience in the six years they’ve been together that he must sit very lightly and not really ask the horse to come under at all—“but even that wasn’t working today,” he said.

Helix’s FIRST Olympics was a breathtaking success!!! @adrienne.lyle, the dream pilot, and Helix, the ultimate dance partner, were absolutely incredible today in their Olympic Grand Prix debut together — they truly became one soul in that electric arena. We’re shedding happy tears and grinning from ear to ear. You did it, Adrienne! You and Helix DID it!!! 🇺🇸🧡🙏🏻
