Caption Competition 214

This week's competition features the German gold-medal winning equestrian team - or so they thought until appeals unseated them.

The upshot of the appeal was that France were upgraded to gold while Great Britain claimed silver.

So the German celebrations turned into a bit of a damp squib, but what is national trainer Krut Gravemeier, right, saying to team members Marco Kutscher, left, and Christian Ahlmann as he emerges from the water jump?

This week's comedy corker comes from CR Henderson of Cambridge, who wowed the cap comp judges with this:

"We should have used this Horsesprung durch Technik"

Well done CR! A goody bag is on its way.

A new cap comp will be published on Tuesday.
