Today, Saturday, July 17, Tatiana celebrates her birthday in the Olympic Village in Tokyo with her Russian teammembers. The accommodation of the horses and the people are excellent. The atmosphere is also excellent.

On Tuesday, July 6th, the horses that will take part in the dressage competitions in Tokyo moved into their boxes at the CHIO site in Aachen. Here, at the request of the Japanese organizers, they have to spend a short quarantine period before they get on the plane on July 14.

The Federation of Equestrian Sports in Russia has announced the names of the team for the dressage competitions at the Tokyo Olympics. Tatiana Kosterina and Diavolessa will start in the Russian team. In addition to Tatiana, Inessa Merkulova and Aleksandra Maksakova have been named for the team. Maria Shuvalova will ride as a reserve.

For the third time we arrived at the winter tournament CDI4* in Lier/Belgium. For the third time it is rainy and stormy. For the third time, you can't completely avoid the mud.

When Tatiana at the European Championship found a seat in the public gallery on Tuesday and wanted to continue watching the Grand Prix, an older gentleman sat right next to her and wanted to watch as well.
